West Australian gold explorer BMG Resources Limited (ASX: BMG) (BMG or the Company) is pleased to report that preliminary metallurgical test work undertaken on recent drill samples from the Company’s Abercromby Gold Project has confirmed that the gold ore is amenable to conventional carbon-in-leach (CIL) processing with high gold recoveries achieved.
HIGHLIGHTS:
BMG’s maiden drill program at Abercromby was carried out in December 2021 and delivered multiple thick intercepts of high-grade gold including:
-
12m @ 2.56 g/t Au from 25m including 2m @ 4.87 g/t Au from 25m (20ABRC0001)
-
26m @ 6.07 g/t Au from 192m, including 7m @ 21.22 g/t Au from 192m (20ABRC0004)
-
16m @ 3.64 g/t Au from 82m, including 3m @ 14.38 g/t Au from 83m (20ABRC0004)
-
33m @ 1.7 g/t Au from 127m, including 3m @ 15.29 g/t Au from 157m (20ABRC0008)
-
37m @ 2.58 g/t Au from 144m including 8m @ 8.1 g/t Au from 173m (20ABRC0010)
-
5m @ 5.86 g/t from 42m including 2m @ 10.83 g/t from 42m (20ABRC0010)
-
8m @ 2.72 g/t Au from 32m and 2m @ 4.37 g/t Au from 107m (20ABRCD0003)
-
59m @ 0.86 g/t Au from 156m, including 7m @ 3.33 g/t Au from 173m (20ABRC0006)
-
2.7m @ 6.54 g/t Au from 215.3m (20ABRCD0003)
This was the first drill program to be conducted at the Project in more than 15 years and successfully confirmed the continuity of the thick and high-grade gold intersections reported at the Capital Prospect by previous explorers.
The preliminary metallurgical test work on samples from these recent holes has confirmed the nature of the Abercromby gold as free-milling and that the gold is not associated with high sulphide content.
