Latest Leach Tests of RSOLV deliver Comparable Recoveries and Economics to Cyanide.
North Vancouver, BC - Innovation Mining is excited to announce the successful results of recent 1kg column tests comparing their innovative NsOL formula to conventional Cyanide (NaCN) solution. The tests confirmed that the RSOLV formula continues to show significant improvements, now performing almost identically to a 1,000 PPM cyanide solution in both short-term 7-day leach kinetics and 30-day cumulative gold recoveries.
With a calculated head grade of 1.75 gpt gold, the tests revealed comparable leach kinetics and overall gold recoveries: NaCN achieved 78.3% recoveries, while RSOLV achieved 78.8%. Short-term results showed that 99% of the gold was recovered into solution within the first 7 days, with NaCN recovering 1.31 gpt Au (74.9%) and NsOL recovering 1.24 gpt Au (70.9%).
The overall chemical consumption of the NsOL solution was slightly higher than usual, estimated at 40% or $3.27 per tonne of ore, due to a lower operational pulp density (50%) and increased pH adjustment costs. NaCN consumption was calculated at 56% or $2.91 per tonne of ore, excluding cyanide destruction or handling costs. The reported comparable leach kinetics, recoveries, and costs clearly demonstrate the potential for NsOL to become a cost-effective alternative to toxic cyanide in the mining industry.
