Revival Gold Announces Success in Metallurgical Testing at Mercur
Positive Metallurgical Test Results for Revival Gold
TORONTO — Revival Gold Inc. (TSX-V: RVG, OTCQX: RVLGF) has recently shared encouraging outcomes from its column leach metallurgical test program conducted on representative samples taken from the Mercur Gold Project, a promising gold mining site in Utah. The company is thrilled to announce these positive results, marking a significant step forward in its endeavors.
Testing Methodology and Results Overview
The test program involved developing five composite samples derived from seven HQ core holes. These samples were meticulously created to be representative of the primary gold-bearing heap leachable host rocks located at Mercur. To facilitate accurate testing, all composites were crushed, ensuring that 100% passed through a 12.5 mm (0.5 inch) sieve. Following this, they were subjected to an active leaching process for a duration of seven weeks at Kappes Cassiday & Associates’ lab based in Reno, Nevada.
Extraction Rates
The results revealed impressive extraction rates for gold during the five column leach tests, which recorded values of 85%, 85%, 74%, 92%, and 82%. These high numbers show that the mineral compositions tested at Mercur exhibit significant gold recovery potential. The full details and comparative results against alternative testing methods are in the results comparison charts.
Cyanide Consumption and Leach Kinetics
During the tests, the average sodium cyanide consumption was noted at 0.57 kg/T (1.14 lbs/t), while lime addition was recorded at 1.0 kg/T (2 lbs/t). Notably, the leach kinetics for all composites were rapid, as 90% of the gold was successfully leached into solution within just five days.
Implications for Future Planning
These findings, combined with historical operational and exploration data, enhance the understanding of the Mercur host rocks’ suitability for cyanide leaching processes used for gold recovery. Moving forward, these metallurgical results will underpin the heap leach recovery rates assumed in a forthcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) aimed at Mercur, which Revival Gold is targeting for completion by the close of the first quarter of the coming year.
Executive Insights
Hugh Agro, President and CEO of Revival Gold, expressed his satisfaction with the metallurgical test results. He stated, "We are very pleased with today’s metallurgical test results. The mid-80’s percent average extraction rate and rapid leach kinetics for the five columns tested bode well for the upcoming Mercur PEA.”
