Metallurgical Tests
Metallurgical tests produced excellent recovery rates highlighting the production potential of the project. These included:
- Saprolitic ore (TP01): gravity (40%) + cyanidation of gravity tailings (40.4%), with a total 80.4% extraction
- Sulphide ore (TP02, TP03): flotation (8%) followed by cyanidation of flotation tailings (78%) with a total 86% recovery
All tests were conducted at bench scale using representative bulk samples at the Brastecno laboratory in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
