Bravo Reports Gold Recoveries from 87% to 92%
VANCOUVER, BC - Bravo Venture Group Inc. reported that calculated gold recoveries ranging from 87% to 92% were returned from initial metallurgical testing on composite samples from its Homestake Ridge Project, NW British Columbia.
The company reported that the test work, which was conducted on a blend of composites from three different areas in the Main Homestake deposit, involved combinations of gravity separation, flotation, whole ore cyanidation and concentrate cyanidation to derive four separate process flowsheets. These resulted in calculated recoveries of 87% to 92% for gold and 59% to 70% for silver.
Gravity recovered 35% of the gold and 20% of the silver into a gravity concentrate. Lock-cycle flotation tests on gravity tails yielded gold, silver and copper recoveries of 85%, 84% and 95%, respectively, while direct cyanidation of gravity tails yielded gold and silver extractions of 87% and 49%, respectively.
