An indicated 29 100 tonnes of tailings containing 1.88 g/t Au, 2 g/t Ag, 70 ppm Cu, 1200 ppm Pb, 350 ppm Zn, and 80 ppm As in 2 separate dumps remain on site. Cyanidation leach tests show that about 60% of Au in the truck dumps and up to 50% of...

An indicated 29 100 tonnes of tailings containing 1.88 g/t Au, 2 g/t Ag, 70 ppm Cu, 1200 ppm Pb, 350 ppm Zn, and 80 ppm As in 2 separate dumps remain on site. Cyanidation leach tests show that about 60% of Au in the truck dumps and up to 50% of the Au in the main battery sands could be readily extracted with low consumption of sodium cyanide and lime.
