Crawford Gold PFS to Restart with Onsite Heap Leaching as Process Method
Corporate Highlights
-
Recent column leaching test work carried out on the mineralised oxide portion of the Crawford Gold resource delivered outstanding results (see ASX announcement on 9 October 2023)
-
High recoveries were returned, peaking at 92.5% gold extraction
-
The tests also returned extremely rapid gold extraction times and low consumption rates
-
Internal review of these results have given the Company great confidence to restart the PreFeasibilty Study (‘PFS’) utilising onsite heap leaching as the processing method
Daniel Tuffin, Executive Technical Director,
“We’re excited to see what impact these positive heap leach results will have on the outcomes of the re-booted PFS. The results both confirm and validate the Company’s decision in previously pausing the PFS to review the potential of processing ore on site and comprehensively assess the evolving situation at Crawford and in the greater Leonora area.
Progressing along the heap leach path not only enables us to evaluate the project as a standalone operation, but also reduces our dependence on third-party processing.
While our near-resource exploration efforts will continue, these exceptional column leach results provide us with the opportunity to examine what we hope will be the first stage of mining gold at Crawford.
With prior work already undertaken, the company should be in a favorable position to complete the study within a relatively short timeframe. Should the outcomes of the PFS yield the anticipated positive result, and given that the project is located on a granted Mining Lease, the company will be well-prepared to swiftly transition into production.
Our ultimate goal remains to become a self-funded explorer, aligning with our Company’s corporate plan since listing just 15 months ago.”
