TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2023 / Lahontan Gold (TSXV:LG) (OTCQB:LGCXF) (“company” Also “Rahontan”) is pleased to announce the commencement of metallurgical test work at its flagship Santa Fe Mine, a former open-pit, heap-reach gold and silver mine in Mineral County, Nevada. The program is designed to validate historical gold and silver recovery from oxide mineralization at Santa Fe and provide baseline metallurgical data that can be used to design process flowsheets for future mining operations. I’m here.
The first stage of testing is a series of bottle roll tests utilizing reverse circulation drilling cuttings that can characterize different mineralization types within the oxidized portion of the Santa Fe Mineral Resource. A previous bottle roll test showed gold recovery up to 88.9% in oxide rocks and CN consumption averaging 0.25 kg/tonne (Lacana Pre-Feasibility Study, 1987). Subsequent tests include the definition of optimized crush sizes for potential future heap leaching treatments, column leaching tests and evaluation of agglomeration to improve precious metal recovery.
Kimberly Ann, Founder, CEO and President of Lahontan Gold Corp, commented: -1994) was excellent at 77% for gold and 55% for silver in oxidized mineralization. and must be verified by the latest metallurgical test work.
