Kentor Gol d (ASX: KG L ) is an Australian-b a sed, emer g ing midtier gold co m pany with a dvanced projects in Australia and the Kyrgyz Rep u blic. Formed in 1 998 and list e d on the ASX in 2 005, the Company expects to c ommence h i gh grade gold produ c tion at Burnakura in Western A u stralia in m id-2012, with potential additional goldcopper p r oduction fr o m the neighbourin g Gabanintha deposit. At Jervois in the Northern Territory, th e Company i s studying the feasibilit y of developing a large, high grade copper-silver resource with potenti a l for the pro d uction of gold and other base meta l s. In the Kyr g yz Republi c , Kentor Gold is rea d y to procee d with the development of the C o mpany’s 80% owned high grade, very low cost Andash Gold-Copp e r Project once site access h a s been obtained. A ndash is ta r geted to produce 70, 0 00 oz gold a nd 7,400 tonnes cop p er pa for an initial six years, wit h high pot e ntial for expansion.

Jervois copper-silver-gold mine development study makes strong progress
-
High metallurgical recoveries and concentrate grades achieved 26% Copper concentrate grade at 94% recovery
-
Resource upgrade commenced
-
Mining and Engineering studies under way
Kentor G old Limite d (Kentor Gold or the Co m pany) is pleased to report e ncouraging initial results in the s coping stu d y being underta k en into the developme n t of an ope n pit multi-m e tal mine at the J e rvois Proje c t in the Northern Territo r y.
Metallurgical testing:
Prelimi n ary results o f several b a tch tests o n drill core c o mposite materia l from hole R J169 (72m @ 3.27% C u, 0.25% P b , 0.11% Zn, 51. 3 3g/t Ag a n d 1.16g/t A u from 41 4 m) have n o w been receive d . This has a chieved a b est overall response fr o m initial testing indicating th e production of a conce n trate with a grade of 26% co p per at 94% recovery (Figure 1).
Comm e nting on t h e results, K entor Gol d Managing Director Simon M ilroy said: “T o achieve l e vels of this kind in th e very first round of m e tallurgical test work is a g reat result.
“T h ere is still a lot mor e work to be done but these m e tallurgical r e sults, together with th e recent ou t standing ex p loration drilling results, continue to point the w a y to the de v elopment o f a major multi-metal mi n e.”
Issued capital:
1,062.1 milli o n ordinary s h ares 63.6 million u nlisted optio n s
Market Capitalisation
18 Novemb e r. 2011: $11 7 million
“T h e high concentrate gr a des and g o od recoveries were ac h ieved at a r e latively coarse grind siz e .”
Test w o rk is also b eing conducted on H Q diamond core from RJ124 ( 5m @ 3.03 % Cu, 19.14 g /t Ag, 0.44 g /t Au from 297m and 11m @ 1.67% Cu, 15.99g/t Ag , 0.17g/t Au from 331m) that lies approx. 350m to th e south, alo n g strike of R J169. This will help provide a measure o f the varia b ility in meta l lurgical per f ormance along s t rike and at l o wer grades.

Figure 1 Jervois copper concentrate production at Ammtec laboratory
Surveyors are on site this week. The substantial infrastructure already existing at Jervois will be accurately located including the tailings storage facility, exploration camp and infill topography over existing resource areas.
Upgrade of mineral Resource:
Hellman & Schofield who completed the initial Inferred Resource estimate of 8.8 million tonnes @ 1.3% copper and 26.7g/t silver have commenced an upgrade to the resource model incorporating the recent drilling results and survey information. Additional density measurements of core from current and historical drilling will also be incorporated into the upgraded Resource estimate.
Mining and processing studies:
Auralia Mining Consulting have been engaged to run pit optimisations and schedules on each resource deposit at Jervois. When completed, mining costs and underground inventory will be estimated to enable a mining schedule to be produced.
Knight Piesold have been engaged to conduct the geotechnical and water management assessment for the Jervois Project. They have considerable experience in tailings management and other related aspects of similar projects in Australia. Their study will assess the following key areas
-
Tailings management
-
Plant site foundation evaluation
-
Groundwater assessment
-
Surface water management.
Lycopodium were identified as having the best technical team with demonstrated capabilities related to copper beneficiation and copper concentrate handling. Lycopodium are responsible for definition of the engineering design to support the capital and operating cost estimates to an accuracy of ±35%.
This includes development of the process flow diagram with assistance from metallurgical consultant Arthur Dunstan and the results from ALS Ammtec’s Perth laboratory.
The scope of their work includes
-
Prepare major equipment list
-
Identify and determine site infrastructure requirements
