Kaminak Gold (TSXV:KAM) reported additional metallurgical results from test work on mineralization collected from its Coffee gold project in Canada’s Yukon.
As quoted in the press release, highlights of results included:

  • Column leach test results for transitional material at the 0.5 inch and 2.0 inch crush sizes collected from the Latte, Supremo and Kona deposits yielded the following recoveries:
      • Latte upper transition core composite recovered 82.5% (2 tests)
      • Latte middle transition core composite recovered 58.5% (2 tests)
      • Supremo upper transition core composite recovered 84% (2 tests)
      • Kona upper transition core composite recovered 74% (2 tests)
  • Agglomeration was not required for any of the column tests and low reagent consumption was reported.
  • All of the column leach tests at the 0.5 inch size were performed at a temperature of 4 degrees Centigrade to simulate cold climate leaching.  Column leach test work was conducted by Kappes, Cassiday and Associates (“KCA”), industry leading experts in heap leach processing.

Kaminak’s Fred Lightner, director of mine development, stated:

The most recent test results from the KCA testing program will provide the basis for a much better quantification of gold recoveries from transitional material of the Coffee deposits for inclusion in the FS.  When all of the revised block models for each deposit area have been completed and the final mine plan has been established, we will then have the basis for the determination of gold production for the FS.
