Trevali Mining Corporation (TSX:TV,OTCQX:TREVF,FWB:4TI) received the final metallurgical reports following the processing of its maiden Halfmile Mine 30,000-tonne toll-milling run through Xstrata’s Brunswick-12 Processing Plant.
As quoted in the press release:
A detailed report by Trevali’s metallurgical consultant, Holland and Holland Consultants, states that Halfmile mineralization exhibits superior flotation characteristics and use less reagent to produce concentrates of similar to slightly superior quality to those traditionally produced in the Bathurst Mining Camp.
The initial milling run focused on zinc recoveries, Trevali’s principal product, which has achieved nameplate recoveries rates over the four-day period. A larger, 40,000-50,000 tonne milling campaign of stockpiled feed is on-track for mid-June and will continue to optimize and establish operating parameters for Halfmile mineralization, specifically zinc regrind and increased by-product recoveries including lead liberation and pyrite suppression studies.
Trevali President and CEO Dr. Mark Cruise said:
“Based on these results we are confident that additional metallurgical optimization is possible short-term at Brunswick-12 and more importantly longer-term once we finalize the acquisition of the more suitably-sized and state-of-art Caribou Milling complex.”
