Cavalier Resources (ASX:CVR) is undertaking further studies into the potential for processing onsite at the Crawford Gold Project in the Leonora region of Western Australia.
The company has engaged Kappes, Cassiday & Associates Australia (KCAA) to begin metallurgical studies on the Crawford Gold Project after internal high-level studies indicated the potential for the oxide portion of the Crawford Gold resource to be extracted and processed using heap leach methods via processing onsite by the Company.
Additionally, a Heads of Agreement has been signed by Blue Cap Mining (BCM) to assist the company with heap leach mining studies and to provide contract equipment for any potential test pits, with scope of services and fees to be agreed from time to time on an “as needed” basis.
Highlights:
- Internal high-level studies indicate the potential for the oxide portion of the Crawford Gold resource to be extracted and processed via heap leach processing.
- Heap leach experts Kappes, Cassiday & Associates Australia have been engaged to assist studies.
- Initial phase 1 of metallurgical test work programming is underway.
- Heads of Agreement signed with Blue Cap Mining to assist with heap leach mining studies and to potentially conduct the development and mining work for any test pits.
“Recent M&A instability in the region has cast some doubt on the company securing viable toll milling options for the Crawford Gold Project in the near term,” Executive Technical Director, Daniel Tuffin, said.
“Given this situation, Cavalier has embarked on investigating the potential to mine and mill Crawford as an owner-operated heap leach operation.”
