As quoted from the press release:
Highlights:
- Initial metallurgical testing of banded manganese ore from Matthews Ridge indicates that commercial product could be produced from run of mine material.
- The test work was focused on the banded manganese ores, which represent the most difficult ore type to treat.
- The objective of this initial program was to test the amenability of the ores to upgrading by modern gravity separation methods.
- Results from the jigging tests indicate that the banded manganese ores could be upgraded to produce a saleable product grading more than 40% Mn at acceptable yields and with low deleterious elements.
Reunion Gold Corp. President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. James Crombie, said:
“We are pleased with these initial results. We wanted to test the most difficult ore type first and are satisfied we can treat the banded manganese as indicated here. We are now confident about the potential of producing high grade manganese concentrates from the blend of ores that Matthew’s Ridge has to offer. Further jig testwork will be carried out in coming months on the various ore types to refine the process parameters. In addition, we will seek to have a pilot plant at our site to speed up this process”.
