Golden Tag reports positive metallurgical test results from Canadian business journal Fernandes Sohn
TORONTO, September 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Golden Tag Resources Ltd.golden tag” or “Company“) (TSX.V: GOG) (OTCQB: GTAGF) is pleased to provide metallurgical test results from mineralization within the Fernandes Zone at our wholly-owned San Diego project in Durango, Mexico .
Highlights include:
- First-ever metallurgical results performed in the Fernandez Zone indicate that endoskarn mineralization is suitable for conventional flotation techniques
- 76% of Ag and 84% of Pb were recovered in bulk concentrate containing 51% Pb. 4700 grams/ton Ag, 3.11% Zn, 5.27% Cu, and 2.23 g/t Au
- Cu and Au recoveries in bulk concentrate improved significantly over previous test work
- 84% of zinc recovered in 47% zinc concentrate
President and CEO Greg Mackenzie commented: “We are pleased to announce the first-ever metallurgical test results in the Fernandez Zone. has shown that it is possible to produce a commercially salable concentrate from
Comparing these results to previous test work conducted in other zones in San Diego, we are encouraged by the improvements within bulk Pb concentrate, especially Ag concentrate grades, and higher recoveries of Au and Cu.
A common reagent method and grind size (P80 109 µm) was used in the tests. We believe that with additional testing work and applied optimization, recovery and enrichment grades could be further improved. Additional metallurgical test work is scheduled to be carried out in 2023. ”
Summary of metallurgical test work
Metallurgical testing work was performed by ALS Metallurgy of Kamloops, BC under the direction of Adam Johnston of Transmin Metallurgical Consultants. His six samples of quarter-drill cores taken at 6-meter intervals from three completed drill holes within the Fernandez Zone, designed to represent the lithology and geochemistry of the Fernandez Zone, were selected. rice field. The samples were subjected to detailed mineralogy at ALS, including mineral aggregation, texture, and mineral liberation assessment. The samples were analyzed using a silver-focused trace metal search (TMS) technique, which concluded that silver was present primarily as Freibergite. Twenty-seven kilograms of composite (SAC-001) of four samples from the Endoskarn zone were analyzed by Particle Mineral Analysis (PMA) to determine mineral liberation parameters before proceeding to flotation tests. Flotation development included evaluation of coarser and cleaner stages, and an open circuit flowsheet was established using conventional reagents and techniques. Approximately 76% of Ag and 84% of Pb were recovered in bulk graded to approximately 4700 g/t Ag, 51% Pb, 3.1% Zn, 5.3% Cu, and 2.23 g/t Au A lead concentrate was obtained (Table 1).
Compared to the metallurgical test results established in the NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate prepared by SGS Canada in April 2013, this initial test work yielded a silver recovery prediction of 71% in bulk Pb concentrate. improved from 76%. We showed that the recoveries of Cu and Au improved significantly while increasing the concentrate grade from 3623 g/t Ag to 4700 g/t Ag. It also improved the predicted zinc recovery for the zinc concentrate from 81% to 84%.
Additional metallurgical test work is required to further optimize flotation conditions before proceeding to rock cycle testing.
