Good Recoveries from Coarse Bottle Roll Leach Tests at Hamam https://ceo.ca/@Newton/good-recoveries-from-coarse-bottle-roll-leach-tests-at-hamama-west-for-aton-resources-aan
What happened? First set of results from metallurgical testing on mineralization from the “gold oxide cap” at Hamama West.
So what? Good gold and silver recoveries from a coarse crush size will reduce capital and operating costs for the heap leach project compared to a conventional CIL process.
What next? Already 10 days into the column leach testing that simulates heap leach technology, which will determine the actual expected recoveries for the Hamama West “oxide gold cap” mineralization, and will form the basis for a key part of the economic study for this gold mine in Egypt.
