Northern Freegold Resources Ltd.(TSXV:NFR) announcedits latest preliminary results from ongoing metallurgical studies at the Freegold Mountain project. Full results can be seen in the press release.
As quoted in the press release:
These results conclude the first phase of the Revenue deposit metallurgical test work commenced in early 2012 and show that good recoveries of Cu, Au, Mo and Ag can be achieved in concentrates. Future metallurgical work will look at further optimizing the recoveries and concentrate grades.
Northern Freegold, President and CEO, John Burges, said:
“We are very pleased with the excellent overall recoveries of copper, gold, molybdenum and silver through the production of copper and moly concentrates and with additional gravity recovery of gold and silver. This is an important milestone for the Revenue Cu-Au-Mo deposit. These results compare favourably with many more developed copper-gold porphyry deposits in North America. Further grade and recovery optimizations are planned for the future phases of metallurgical test work. Results of similar metallurgical test work from the large adjacent Nucleus deposit where gold is the primary resource are being finalized and will be out shortly.
