Executive Summary

Metallurgical testwork on the Cameron Gold deposit samples from 1985 to the present indicates recoveries of 92% to 93% from direct cyanidation of samples ground to 75 μm. Results show recoveries are grind sensitive with maximum recoveries at a P 80 grind size in the range 53 to 75 μm. An alternative processing regime of sulphide flotation followed by intensive cyanidation provided gold recoveries marginally higher than direct cyanidation.

Comminution tests indicated low rod and ball mill bond work indices and highly competent material. Gravity recoverable gold is typically around 25% with no improvement in overall recovery after gravity recovery with cyanidation of the gravity tails. Test work carried out in 2014 showed that cyanide in leach processing at a P 80 of 75 μm would recover 92.5% of gold. To the extent known no processing issues or deleterious element have been identified that could have a significant effect on potential mineral extraction.
