U.S. GoldMining Inc. Commences Metallurgical Testwork At Whistler Gold-Copper Project, Alaska
Highlights:
The principal aim of the metallurgical testwork is to develop a preliminary process flowsheet optimized for metal recovery for the Whistler gold-copper mineralization, that will be used in the proposed PEA.
The Company has engaged Base Metallurgical Laboratories Ltd., (" BaseMet") located in Kamloops, B.C., Canada, to undertake the testwork. BaseMet's specialties include mineral processing, gold extraction technologies, comminution, geometallurgy and applied mineralogy, with experience gained throughout North America and internationally across dozens of gold-copper projects for some of the largest mining companies in the world.
Metallurgical testwork will comprise:
Preparation of variability composites and a master composite prepared from drill core samples collected at the Whistler Deposit during the 2023 – 2024 drill seasons.
Feed characterization by head assaying and QEMSCAN (scanning electron microscopy) mineralogy.
Detailed mineralogy on the master composite, including a gold deportment study.
Comminution testing to determine the crushing and grinding process.
Sulphide flotation testing to determine the chalcopyrite concentrate process path.
Gravity gold and cyanide leaching on concentrate tailings to further optimize gold recoveries.
Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented:"The Company is delighted to kick off one of the cornerstone studies intended to inform a robust PEA for the Project. Previous metallurgical testwork concluded that the Whistler gold-copper porphyry mineralization is amenable to a conventional flotation route that produces a saleable high quality copper concentrate with gold and silver credits. With previous testwork indicating recoveries of 70% and 83% for gold and copper respectively, we believe that there is room for recovery optimization. Our mission with this current round of testwork is to follow-up on the previous conventional flotation testwork and to optimize the process path. Additional variability data points will enable us to understand metal recoveries in different parts of the deposit, and to quantify the extent to which cyanide leaching can potentially return improved gold recoveries."
