Rye Patch Gold Corp. (TSXV:RPM,OTCQX:RPMGF) announced initial results for the Phase 2, feasibility-level metallurgical test program being completed at its Nevada-based Lincoln Hill project.
The company has received final results for 18 bottle-roll tests, and said that specific gravity, work index and abrasion studies have also been completed. Acid Based Accounting studies and column tests are currently in progress.
Highlights include:
- A total of 6 composites at three different feed sizes were analyzed, and results indicate that gold and silver recoveries are size dependent;
- The results suggest that Rochester-like gold and silver recoveries are achievable with a crushing circuit.
- Gold recoveries for the larger sized material can be improved through increased leach time; and
- Additional work, Phase-3, will be completed to identify the optimum heap leach feed size.
