Fitzroy Minerals Reports Copper Recoveries of up to 82.6% from Mini-Column Testing, with Preliminary Larger-Scale Results Trending Higher, at the Buen Retiro Copper Project, Chile
Merlin Marr-Johnson, President and CEO of Fitzroy, commented: "These results exceed what we were hoping for from our first phase of metallurgical testing at Buen Retiro. Final copper recoveries of up to 82.6%, achieved with low acid consumption and excellent reproducibility across three separate Units in just 21 days, give us real confidence in the heap-leach case for the Project."
Preliminary results from 1-metre column tests are trending above the mini-column figures, still trending upwards, and pointing to further improvement in copper recovery as leach time and scale increase.
