Melkior Resources Inc. (TSXV:MKR) announced that it has achieved in 95% gold recovery from 8.72 g/t head grade material in metallurgical testing at its Carscallen Gold Project.
As quoted in the press release:
The selected composite was derived from 39 residual core samples representative of the mineralization (i.e. sampled material not used by the laboratory, commonly called “rejects”) and of quarter drill core from the ZamZam zone. The assayed head grade of the composite was 8.72 g/t Au. The samples selected were primarily pyrite and quartz veins hosted in granite. The samples which comprise the composite represent typical near-surface gold intersections found on the ZamZam zone on the Carscallen property. 17.48 kilograms of material were sent to Activation Laboratories for metallurgical testing. 59.47% of the gold was recovered in the gravity concentrate. The combination of gravity concentration followed by cyanidation of the gravity tailings gave a total recovery and extraction of 95% of the gold for the Carscallen composite. This is considered to be a very encouraging result, which demonstrates that the gold can be efficiently extracted and recovered from the ZamZam zone.
