Results of the program were excellent, showing that a gold recovery process comprising gravity separation and cyanidation or flotation of tails should achieve recovery of more than 97 per cent. In addition, column tests showed that Beaver Dam gold mineralization is amenable to heap leaching with a recovery of 90 per cent in 49 days for material crushed to less than one-eighths of an inch.
The metallurgical test program examined the response of samples to a variety of gold extraction processes, including gravity separation, bottle roll and column cyanide leaching and flotation, and grindability testing. The test material comprised 1403.5 kilograms of PQ diamond drill core from three shallow drill holes drilled specifically for the metallurgical test programs.
