High gold recovery to concentrate confirmed by metallurgical test work

Results from metallurgical test work has revealed high recovery of more than 91% gold to concentrate from samples taken at the Youanmi Gold Project.

Highlights:

  • High recovery of 91.6% gold and 98.3% sulphur to concentrate confirmed during metallurgical test work on samples from Youanmi;

  • Additional gold recovered (36%-62%) from cyanide leaching of the flotation tailings;

  • Test work via Albion Process™ underway to improve overall gold recovery; and

  • Results to inform the Definitive Feasibility Study, expected to be released in November 2025.

Gold explorer and developer Rox Resources Limited (“Rox” or “the Company”) (ASX: RXL) has received positive initial results from metallurgical test work conducted on samples from the Youanmi Gold Project, located in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

Results from bulk flotation tests determined high gold recoveries of 91.6% can be achieved, with a corresponding concentrate grade of 49.9g/t gold. Additional flotation test work will be conducted to further refine the process for the Definitive Feasibility Study.

As part of the metallurgical test work program, the Company is also undertaking test work using the Albion Process™, which is an atmospheric oxidative leaching process used to treat semi-refractory gold ores.

The Albion Process[TM] test work aims to improve gold recovery through a two-stage process, which is also designed to reduce reagent and power consumption requirements, lowering overall operating and capital costs.

The results from the metallurgical test work program will be incorporated into the Company’s Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), ahead of its anticipated release in November 2025.

Rox Resources Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer Phill Wilding commented:

“The results received so far from the metallurgical test work program reinforce what we already knew about the highly prospective nature of our Youanmi Gold Project.

“It was exciting to see the high gold recoveries returned were better than the PFS estimates, and as we embark on further test work using the Albion Process™, there is opportunity for gold recovery to improve even further.

“Works are progressing quickly on the delivery of the Definitive Feasibility Study for our Youanmi Project, with this metallurgical test work being an important component.

“We look forward to providing the next phase of test work results, as well as finalising details of our Mineral Resource Estimate, as we work towards the DFS’ expected release in November.”

Metallurgical Test Work Program:

The Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) metallurgical test work program commenced in January 2025 with a focus on generating design parameters for the DFS process flowsheet and improving the metallurgical understanding of various lithologies at Youanmi. Test work undertaken to date includes comminution, bulk flotation, flotation tailings leach and preliminary Albion Process[TM] characterisation tests.

The Albion Process[TM] program is due for completion prior to anticipated release of DFS in November 2025. The DFS engineering will run in parallel to the test work with results incorporated as they are received.

Sample Provenance and Selection:

The Pre-Feasibility Study[1] (PFS) Production Target consisted of four main host lithologies for the Youanmi orebodies:

  • High iron (Fe) tholeiite (basalt);

  • High magnesium (Mg) tholeiite (basalt);

  • Banded Iron Formation (BIF); and

  • Granite.

These lithologies represent greater than 95% of the plant feed identified in the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) at a gold grade which is representative of the planned plant feed. The sample selection for the DFS has focussed on generating two bulk composites for the two main lithologies (high Fe basalt, high Mg basalt) to generate a bulk concentrate for downstream Albion Process[TM] test work.

The lithology variability samples were selected to advance the priority DFS metallurgical test work and gain an understanding of the metallurgical response to the different lithologies. Additional variability sampling and test work is planned to provide greater spatial representation and improve the metallurgical dataset prior to detailed design.

A summary of the lithology descriptions and composite sample selection is in Table 1 and Table 2.

Head Assays and Mineralogy:

The head assays for the two bulk composites and six lithology variability composites are in Table 3, and indicate the following:

  • There are no other economic or deleterious elements;

  • The arsenic grades vary indicating a varying pyrite/arsenopyrite ratio;

  • There is low variance between duplicate gold assays indicating low coarse gold content;

  • Low organic carbon results indicate low to zero risk of preg-robbing;

  • The low antimony grades indicate minimal impact of antinomy passivation on gold leaching; and

  • There is minimal variation between reduced sulphide (S[2-] ) and total sulphide content, indicating the samples comprise fresh sulphide ore.

Mineralogy test work undertaken on concentrate samples from the PFS indicate the semi-refractory nature of the gold at Youanmi. Much of the gold (75-80%) is either free-milling or semi-refractory and is primarily associated with pyrite. Some gold is super-fine grained (<10 μm) and is primarily associated with pyrite but is also contained in silicates. Up to 25% of the gold is locked in solid solution in arsenopyrite, which cannot be recovered by conventional cyanide leaching or ultrafine grinding.

Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has confirmed that the gold in solid solution in pyrite ranges from 0.75 to 3.3 ppm while the gold in solid solution in arsenopyrite ranges from 242 to 447 ppm.

The mineralogy test work confirms the requirement for an oxidation process (such as the Albion Process[TM] ) with a focus on oxidising the arsenopyrite in the flotation concentrate to maximise gold recovery from the refractory component of the ore.

Petrographic analysis conducted shows the various types of Youanmi mineralisation. Examples of freemilling, semi-refractory and refractory gold are shown in Figure 2 and summarised as:

  • Refractory ore (image 1) – very fine-grained gold particles enclosed within pyrite grains;

  • Semi-refractory ore (images 2 & 3) – gold within pyrite grains that lie in and/or along fractures and cavities; and

  • Free-milling ore (images 4, 5 & 6) – gold in open cavities, attached to external margins of sulphide grains or occur within silicate matrix.

Comminution:

A series of standard comminution tests have been completed on the main lithological composites with the results outlined in Table 4. Results, compared to the JKTech database include:

  • The Bond Rod Work Index (RWi) and Bond Ball Work Index (BWi) indicate the ore is hard which aligns with previous results;

  • The Abrasion Index (Ai) test indicates the ore is slightly abrasive, indicating modest wear of comminution equipment; and

  • The SMC results (A x b and DWi) indicate the ore is moderately competent and sit in the 38[th] – 71[st] percentile of the JKTech Database.

Flotation:

Bulk flotation tests on the MgT and FeT master composites have been completed with results summarised in Table 5.

The combined MgT and FeT concentrates achieved average gold and sulphur (S[2-] ) recoveries of 91.6% and 98.6% respectively with corresponding combined concentrate grades of 49.9 g/t gold and 27.3% sulphur.

The results indicate that high gold and sulphur recoveries can be achieved from a mass pull of ~9% using a rougher-only flotation flowsheet. This means that only ~ 9% of the front-end ore feed is treated via Albion Process[TM] some 10x smaller than the front-end comminution and flotation circuits.

Additional flotation variability test work will be conducted to define final design mass pull and concentrate specification and refine the flotation flowsheet for the DFS.

Flotation Tailings Leaching:

Cyanide leach test work was undertaken on the rougher flotation tailings from the two bulk composites with the results summarised in Table 6.

Results indicate that low final tailings gold grades can be achieved for the flotation tailings (90.9% of the flotation feed) represented by the FeT and MgT bulk composites with assayed head grades of 4.74 g/t and 5.04 g/t respectively.

The cyanide and lime consumption for the flotation tailings leach is considered low.

Albion Process[TM] Test Work:

The Albion Process[TM] is an atmospheric oxidative leaching process for treating semi-refractory gold ores to improve overall gold recovery. The process comprises two main stages:

  • The initial stage is ultrafine grinding of the flotation concentrate using an IsaMill™ to a grind size P80 of 8-20 µm. This provides a narrow size distribution and prevents passivation of the mineral surfaces in the subsequent oxidative leaching step; and

  • The ultrafine ground concentrate undergoes oxidative leaching in the OxiLeach™ Reactor at atmospheric pressure, a pH of 4-5, an elevated temperature of 95°C and a residence time of up to 72 hours. The OxiLeach™ reactors are designed specifically for leaching and maximum oxygen mass transfer. The oxidised product from the oxidative leach is neutralised and transferred to the cyanide leach circuit for traditional gold cyanide recovery.

Ultrafine grinding is a common process used to increase the recovery of many base and precious metals. IsaMills[TM ] have been used for ultrafine grinding of ores since 1994, so are a well known and proven technology. KCGM have successfully employed IsaMills[TM] for over 20 years to improve gold recovery.

The Albion Process[TM] is best suited to semi-refractory gold concentrates that do not require greater than 90% sulphur oxidation to achieve acceptable gold recoveries.

Importantly, the Albion Process[TM] provides greater control over the extent of oxidation that reduces reagent and power consumption, lowering the overall operating and capital costs.

Albion Process[TM] test work is currently being undertaken at Core Resources in Brisbane. Head characterisation is complete, the signature plot of ultrafine grinding is underway, and the initial Albion Process[TM] leach test has commenced.

The statement of estimates of Mineral Resources for the Youanmi Gold Project was reported by Rox in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.8 and the JORC Code (2012 edition) in the announcement “MRE Update confirms Youanmi as Significant High-Grade Gold Project and Paves Way for PFS” released to the ASX on 30 January 2024, and for which the consent of the Competent Person Mr Steve Le Brun was obtained. A copy of that announcement is available at www.asx.com.au. Rox confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the Mineral Resources estimates information included in that market announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resources estimates in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. Rox confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not been materially modified from that market announcement.

Production Target

The Production Target and forecast financial information derived from the Production Target referred to in this release are underpinned by Indicated Mineral Resources (approximately 71%) and Inferred Mineral Resources (approximately 29%). The total Life of Mine Production Target includes 29% Inferred Resources ounces, 7% Indicated Resource ounces outside of Reserve and the remaining 64% is underpinned by Probable Ore Reserves. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the Production Target or forecast financial information reported will be realised. Accordingly, the Company has scheduled the Production Target such that Inferred Mineral Resources do not feature as a significant proportion of the first 4 years of the 9-year mine plan. Approximately 19% of the Production Target material mined over the first 4 years

The
metallurgical
process
proposed
and
the
appropriateness of that process to the style of
mineralisation.
The proposed metallurgical process is on site oxidation of
flotation concentrate by the Albion ProcessTM. Previous
test work has shown this process is appropriate for this
style of mineralisation.
Whether the metallurgical process is well-tested
technology or novel in nature.
Bulk flotation is a common process employed by many
precious and base metal operations where further
concentrating or refining of the mineralisation is required
The
nature,
amount
and
representativeness
of
metallurgical test work undertaken, the nature of the
metallurgical domaining applied and the corresponding
metallurgical recovery factors applied.
Bulk flotation testwork was conducted on a ~530kg
composite, selected to represent the lithology and grade
profile of the prefeasibility study mine plan. A bulk sample
is more representative than standard 1kg floats, reducing
any potential effect caused by coarse nuggety gold on
grade or recovery determination.
Any assumptions or allowances made for deleterious
elements.
The test work and comprehensive head assays show that
there are no deleterious elements recovered in
concentrate.
The existence of any bulk sample or pilot scale test work
and the degree to which such samples are considered
representative of the orebody as a whole.
Bulk composites represent the two main domains that
make up 63% of the pre-feasibility study mine plan.
For minerals that are defined by a specification, has the
ore reserve estimation been based on the appropriate
mineralogy to meet the specifications?
No minerals are defined by a specification.
