The Board of RTG Mining Inc. released the preliminary results from the scoping metallurgical test work for the Mabilo deposit. The test work has been conducted by ALS Metallurgy under the guidance of Lycopodium Minerals Pty Ltd. and has produced the metallurgical results summarised below. The primary Skarn material composite showed excellent floatability with a standard reagent suite at a P 80 grind size of 106µm. Key results from primary test work include: A concentrate grade of 33% Cu and 20g/t Au; Copper recovery up to 96%; Overall gold recovery of up to 85% to concentrate and float tail leach; and Ball Mill Work Index of 14 kWh/t. Test work on the Gold Cap oxide material showed gold recoveries up to 90% with cyanide consumption of 3.5kg/t and lime consumption of 1 kg/t. Phase 1 test work is due for completion at the end of January and given the successful results obtained, RTG intends to move immediately into Phase 2 Definitive Feasibility Study test work upon the completion of Phase 1.
