Astral Resources NL (ASX: AAR) (Astral or the Company) is thrilled to present the metallurgical test results for Hestia, Eos, and Iris, part of the 100%-owned Mandilla Gold Project (Mandilla), situated approximately 70km south of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Recent metallurgical testing reaffirmed the exceptional characteristics of the Mandilla Gold Project, showcasing high gravity gold recoveries and rapid leaching.
- Results from Hestia, Eos, and Iris deposits exhibited outstanding recoveries at modest cyanide concentrations and various grind sizes.
- Key results after eight hours of leaching at a 212µm grind size were:
- For Hestia, 96.5% gravity recovery, 99.5% final recovery;
- For Eos, 17.9% gravity recovery, 98.8% final recovery;
- For Iris, 66.8% gravity recovery, 96.5% final recovery.
- Metallurgical results at Hestia, Eos, and Iris reflect high gold recoveries, fast leach kinetics, and low reagent consumptions, consistent with prior results at Theia.
- Exploration activities include in-fill RC drilling at Theia and Feysville Gold Project, with Mineral Resource estimations underway for Think Big, Rogan Josh, and Kamperman.
Astral Resources’ Managing Director Marc Ducler stated: “The exceptional metallurgical results for Hestia, Eos, and Iris continue to highlight the outstanding metallurgical characteristics of the Mandilla Gold Project. These new results significantly de-risk Mandilla, confirming the ability to generate high gold recoveries in real-world processing plant conditions.
