Aurtec feasibility under way

A $500,000 feasibility study on the Bakoudou gold mining property in Gabon is progressing smoothly, reports Aurtec Mining Development (ME).

The company hopes to bring the deposit, which contains a preliminary reserve of 1.8 million tonnes grading 1.7 grams gold per tonne, into open pit production without blasting. Gold would be recovered using gravity separation. Aurtec has a 100% interest in Bakoudou.

A collection of 50 drill samples, originating mostly from a gold-bearing quartz horizon, are currently on their way to Canada for further testing. They are accompanied by 200 samples from a bulk-sampling and pilot gravity concentration program.
