Algold Resources Ltd. announced results of preliminary metallurgical tests from drill core samples at its Tijirit project in Mauritania, the results of which continue to attest to the property's geological potential. Metallurgical work conducted consisted of grindability, heap leach amenability and gravity separation, and cyanidation and acid generation testing. Preliminary metallurgical testing was carried out at SGS Canada in Lakefield on four composites using HQ core samples collected from the Eleonore, Sophie I and Sophie II, and Lily zones. The Eleonore composite was characterized by quartz veins associated with metasediments, the Sophie I composite was made up of quartz veins within banded iron formation (BIF). The Sophie II composite was made up of weathered BIF and the Lily composite was made up of metasediments. Each composite weighted between 70 kg and 130 kg. As expected, the results demonstrate that the various mineralized zones at Tijirit have a wide range of crushing and rock strength characteristics with unconfined compression strength (UCS), with average values for each composite ranging from 29 to 102 MPa. The preliminary SMC grinding tests are inconclusive, however seem to be situated within range categories from soft (Sophie II), medium (Eleonore) to hard (Sophie II and Lily). Recovery of gold amenable to gravity separation followed by cyanidation of the gravity tailings was conducted with the following results. Heap leach amenability was also conducted using a 28-day program on Composites 1, 2 and 3 for three crush sizes each (¾, ½ and ¼ inches). The percentages of gold extraction for each composite, at the end of a 28-day cycle, are indicated below.
