Executive Summary
The technical report section 17.0 outlines the proposed recovery methods for the Ilovitza porphyry Cu-Au system. The strategy involves a dual approach based on ore type: oxide material is targeted for leaching, while sulfide and mixed ore are processed via flotation. This separation allows for the recovery of copper, gold, and molybdenum from the sulfide circuit, with gold recovered in the copper float and a dedicated molybdenum circuit.
Metallurgical test work was conducted at the Institute of Metallurgy ITMNS in Belgrade, Serbia, using a composited sample of representative stockwork mineralization. The sample graded 0.24% copper, 0.25 g/t gold, and 1.6 g/t silver. Flotation tests were performed on material ground to a P80 of 75 microns. Results demonstrated recoveries of 84% for copper, 58% for gold, and 68% for silver, producing a concentrate with grades of 22.0% copper, 16.6 g/t gold, and 145.7 g/t silver.
The report notes that further, more detailed metallurgical test work is required to sample representative ore types across the deposit. This indicates that while initial results are promising, the final process design relies on additional validation to ensure consistent recovery rates across the varying mineralization styles present in the Ilovitza system.
