Gold exploration and development company Panthera Resources says positive results have been returned for carbon-in-leach (CIL) bottle roll tests and column leach tests that have been carried out on bulk composite samples from the Kalaka deposit, in Mali.

Results achieved indicate that the ores are amenable to cyanide leaching, and that CIL extractions can achieve very good results, with a recovery average of 93.4%.

Moreover, column leach tests confirm that the ore is amenable to heap leaching, with a recovery average of 76.3%.

“The positive results from this metallurgical testing, together with the previously reported favourable bottle roll and leachwell test results, further underpin our growing confidence in the potential at Kalaka, which is a significant mineralised gold system,” MD Mark Bolton says.

“Albeit preliminary in nature, this test programme was expansive and represents an important milestone towards assessing the potential for Kalaka mineralisation to be developed,” he adds.
