The excellent gold extractions Ralph Fitch, president and chief executive officer, stated: "The excellent gold extractions on this coarser material suggest that the gold mineralization will likely be heap leachable. This is a very positive step forward for the project. Also noteworthy is that 50 to 60 per cent of the gold was extracted within the first 48 hours of the test with the remaining gold recovered over the balance of the 40-day test period. As we move forward studies will include trade-off studies between heap-leach scenarios using coarse material and slightly lower gold extractions and vat-leach scenarios using fine grained material and high metal recoveries."
