Adyton Resources Corporation (TSX Venture:
ADY) is pleased to report that its recent preliminary metallurgical
test work program performed by leading Australian metallurgy
company Core Metallurgy Pty Ltd confirmed that ROM (‘run of mine”)
ore samples from the Gameta deposit upgraded well using a limited
range of conditions and produced a concentrate assay of 22.3 g/t Au
and 32.9 g/t Ag with recoveries of 86.9% Au and 84.6% Ag.
Due to sample size limitations and the
preliminary nature of the test work program, these results should
be considered unoptimized with further test work required to
optimize reagent conditions and further improve recoveries and
grades.
Test work program overview –
Three representative 30kg samples from crushed reject were
initially selected representing the three main ore types, namely
silica-rich ore, clay-rich ore, and footwall (quartz vein)
mineralisation. Additional test work was subsequently completed on
an additional 22kg of fresh-core samples to ensure that the test
work mirrored as close as possible expected plant-feed ore.
Testing on the fresh core covered crushing,
homogenisation, fire assay and ICP scan, indicative Leachwell
extraction and flotation with a cleaner stage to produce a
marketable concentrate. Results confirmed that flotation is the
most suitable commercial method of gold recovery, producing a
concentrate for sale to third parties or treated on-site using a
suitable oxidative method.
Managing Director Tim Crossley
said, “We are pleased with the outcomes of this preliminary test
work which showed high recoveries of both gold and silver in
concentrate which paves the way for a low capital, simple
processing flow sheet of crush, grind and float to produce a
saleable concentrate for sale to third party processors,” Mr.
Crossley went on to say, “that with further optimization work we
are confident that significantly higher gold concentrate grades may
be achieved.”
Next Steps – further test work
will focus on Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) level studies on fresh
drill core samples, examining both comminution (crushing and
grinding) and flotation to optimise conditions and further improve
metallurgical performance. Flotation optimisation will be carried
out on blended composites, variability test work, and comminution
for ball-mill sizing.
2021 Drill Program:The
thirty-eight-hole diamond drilling program at the Gameta Project
carried out in March until August 2021 was designed to test the
continuity of mineralisation and to increase confidence in
historical assay results within the inferred resource envelope from
drilling conducted in the mid-1990’s.
The drilling was focused on the northern third
(“the northern ore zone”) of the known resources with a strike
extent of over 700m being tested (note the resource zone itself
occurs over a strike interval of 2,000m).
Testing targeted the shallower open-pitable
material, with drilling generally less than 120m and aimed to
provide confirmatory data to support the results from historical RC
drilling programs ahead of a resource upgrade which occurred in Q3
2021.
Some extensional drilling was also part of the
program, testing below, down dip and along strike from known
resources, this work confirmed the resource was open both down dip
and along strike.
2022 Metallurgical
Program:Several samples were selected for the 2022
preliminary metallurgical test-work program as reported in this
announcement.
Adyton approached Core Metallurgy to provide
test work on three coarse reject samples and metallurgical
development support. The primary goal of the initial works was to
establish whether all the ore types are amendable to flotation with
a potential flowsheet option being to produce a saleable
concentrate. The work programme will also confirm whether the ores
are of a refractory nature and what flowsheet options may be
applicable for the deposit.
