The objective of the programme being to establish a preliminary indication of the response of the oxide mineralisation to gold extraction by cyanide leach to test both heap leach and carbon-in-leach (\"CIL\") methodology and provide guidance on potential future development scenarios. \n \nTo view the announcement with illustrative diagrams please use the following link: http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/0564T_1-2019-3-15.pdf\n \nHighlights\n· Excellent gold recovery characteristics with similar test work response observed across both oxide ore samples\n· Preliminary results demonstrate coarse ore gold recoveries of up to 97%, depending on crush size, are achievable through cyanide leach extraction \n· Results indicative of potential for industry standard process methodology for the extraction of gold\n· Results to inform the next stage of the metallurgical test work programme which will be focused on providing further information on both the heap leach potential and gravity-CIL process routes\n\n \nDr Jonathan Forster, Cora's CEO, commented, \"These results indicate the clear potential to be able to use heap leach or CIL as a process methodology in the future and, as such, are highly encouraging. The results have demonstrated that, with minimal crushing of the oxide sample, we can achieve excellent gold recoveries of p...
