An executive of an Australian company which claims to have discovered a process which will significantly improve gold recoveries from calcine dumps, will be in Canada early next month intending to identify materials in this country which could respond to the new process.
Colin Burns, development manager for Bendigo Gold Associates, a gold producer, says test work done to date has indicated that on typical calcines produced in the Victorian gold fields in Australia, gold recoveries can be increased by greater than 50% over that achieved with conventional carbon-in-pulp or carbon-in-leach cyanidation.
After spending just over a week in Toronto, beginning July 3, Mr Burns says he hopes to travel throughout Canada to visit sites of mines and dumps for the collection of test samples.
