Positive Lisle Preliminary Metallurgy Tests
Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV:DBG) has received positive results from its metallurgical test programme for cobalt, copper and gold in Lisle deposit in British Columbia.
Follow-up tests are currently continuing in a programme designed to determine the recoverability of cobalt in Lisle deposit in addition to copper and gold.
Initial flotation rougher tests of gravity separation tails have shown that cobalt can be “recovered” to a pyrite concentrate. Subsequent tests, which will include regrinding and cleaning, are aimed at improving selectivity as well as recoveries and producing a high-gold copper concentrate and a high-cobalt pyrite concentrate. This work will be completed in the forthcoming weeks and results will be announced.
The potential for the recovery of additional metallic elements including Palladium and Nickel is currently being evaluated and may be included in the test programmr after technical review.
Metallurgical extraction studies of the HAT Gold Rich Copper Porphyry Project drill core samples will allow preliminary metallurgical characterization of mineralization and evaluate the metallic content recoverability.
Coffey and Tetra Tech provide metallurgical consulting services to the battery and technologies metals sectors including copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, vanadium, lithium and graphite.
Meanwhile, the company is currently awaiting the assays from its late 2020 drilling program. Assay results will be announced immediately following verification and interpretation. Data will be added to the Hat Project database and used in planning the 2021 field programme.
