The testing, conducted by SGS Canada, utilized a conventional gravity and cyanidation flowsheet and showed rapid leach kinetics and low reagent consumption. Reasoning: The metallurgical results demonstrate exceptionally high gold recoveries \(94-99%\) using a standard gravity and cyanidation flowsheet, significantly de-risking the processing aspect of the project. - Positive factor: High average gold recovery of 97% - Positive factor: Rapid leach kinetics - Positive factor: Low reagent consumption - Positive factor: Very low residue grades - Positive factor: Conventional processing route Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **High Recovery** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: Average gold recovery of 97% is well above the exceptional threshold for gold cyanidation. Evidence · text > averaging approximately 97% **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: The process uses a conventional gravity and cyanidation flowsheet. Evidence · text > conventional gravity and cyanidation flowsheet **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release mentions SGS is accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 standards and a QP \(Paul Sarjeant\) reviewed the information. Evidence · text > SGS is accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 standards **Gravity Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Gravity separation forms a material part of the flowsheet. Why it applies: the document describes a gravity route \("gravity"\) **Multi-Domain Tested** Polarity: positive Definition: Variability across ore domains \(oxide, transition, fresh\) has been addressed. Why it applies: 6 distinct composites were tested ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.
