GUIRO MINE'S MINERALIZATION INDICATES HIGH GRAVITY CIRCUIT RECOVERIES
Komet Resources Inc. has provided positive results from metallurgical testing. The extended gravity recoverable gold (EGRG), work index and cyanide leaching performed by Peacocke & Simpson (Harare, Zimbabwe) confirms a high GRG/cyanide recovery rate (average 97.3 per cent) from the Guiro gold deposit located in Burkina Faso.
The GRG testing reveals excellent results using a single Knelson concentrator, with a high recovery yield of 74 per cent. Testing also revealed that free gold is mostly very coarse and easily retrievable. Cyanide leaching of gravity tails yielded a recovery rate of 89.6 per cent from the leach feed (EGRG test tails) which shows promise for a standard CIL circuit. Overall GRG/leach recovery rates are therefore very high at 97.3 per cent.
Komet president and chief executive officer, Andre Gagne, stated, "We were looking for confirmation that Guiro's mineralization is easily recoverable and the results obtained in preliminary metallurgical testing are beyond our most optimistic expectations. "
The grindability and bond work index of the sample is 0.980 g/rev and 15.20 kWh/st respectively, which are satisfactory. Those tests are primarily used to determine the power required to grind a ton of material and guide the company in its grinding equipment selection.
The full report of Peacocke & Simpson is available on the company's website and SEDAR.
