Dalradian Resources (TSX:DNA) reported metallurgical test results, including overall gold recoveries of 94.3 percent for its Curraghinalt deposit in Northern Ireland. This level of recovery was achievable with a simplified flow sheet.
As quoted in the press release:

he test work results from the Feasibility Study (FS) metallurgical program demonstrate that gold recoveries over 94% are achievable with a simplified processing circuit that allows for a coarser primary grind size and reduced process equipment. Final metallurgical results are pending and will be included in the FS expected to be released this autumn.
As a result of this test work, the FS is proceeding on processing by single-stage grinding, flotation and CIL on the flotation concentrate. Secondary grinding and gravity concentration have been removed from the processing flowsheet. With on-going test work and additional geometallurgical study to further refine the metallurgical response, there is potential to improve this overall recovery.

Dalradian CEO, Patrick Anderson, said:

We continue in our work to de-risk the project. These results demonstrate gold recoveries above 94% while also simplifying the processing and reducing the equipment required. Curraghinalt’s mineralization has excellent flotation and leach recoveries using industry standard, proven processing technologies. Test work shows a marked improvement in grind size compared with historical results and the resulting streamlining of the flowsheet are advantageous to the project.
