Landore Resources Limited (LON:LND) has revealed that gold recoveries from composites sent for testing from its BAM East discovery in Ontario have been highly encouraging.
Combined gold recovery by gravity concentration followed by cyanidation leach extraction of the gravity tail averaged between 97 and 99 % for both composites tested.

Leach kinetics were rapid with most of the gold extraction completed within 2-to-6 hours.
Both composites recorded very low reagent consumptions: sodium cyanide at less than 0.1 kg/tonne feed, with lime consumptions approximately 0.3 kg/tonne feed.

"These exceptional results, showing up to 99% recovery of gold using a simple combined gravity/leaching process, further enhance the exciting BAM East Gold Deposit and supports our high expectations that it can be developed with low capex/opex costs amongst the lowest quartile of gold mining producers,” said chief executive Bill Humphries"
