Business Wire
Lake Victoria Mining Company (LVCA:OTCBB) is pleased to report
initial metallurgical gold recovery test results from the Company’s
Kinyambwiga gold project, in Tanzania. A bulk rock sample of 50
kilograms, assaying 7.24 grams per tonne, was collected from a
number of artisanal shafts on the prospect and then submitted to
Simpson & Peacock Minerals Processing Engineers in Harare,
Zimbabwe for metallurgical test work.
Gold Recovery Test Results Summary
To simulate gravity only recovery methods, rock material was
crushed to 100 percent passing minus 1.0-millimeter size and then
transferred to a Knelson concentrator; this early stage liberation
test yielded a 24.2 percent gold recovery.
Fine grinding of the rock material to a size of 80 percent minus
0.075 millimeters and then transferring the material to a Knelson
concentrator yielded a 54.5 percent gold recovery.
Agitated leaching of the gravity tails for a 24-hour period
resulted in a gold recovery of 84.1 percent.
The overall gold recovery from Fine Grinding with Knelson
Concentration and Agitated Leaching totalled 92.7 percent.
From these initial test results, it appears the Kinyambwiga gold
bearing rock can be processed by standard metallurgical methods.
Further testing is underway to determine electric power
requirements and recovery estimates by flotation methods. Results
will be used to define the configuration and ideal equipment for an
optimal gold recovery plant.
Environmental Permitting Study
After interviewing several environmental companies, a local
Tanzanian consulting firm specialising in Environmental Management,
has been awarded the contract to undertake the Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) study on the Kinyambwiga Gold Project.
The final report is to be submitted to the National
Environmental Management Council (NEMC) of Tanzania, a Government
body responsible for the issuance of the EIA certificate by the
Minister responsible for Environment.
The EIA firm was chosen based on its confidence and proven track
record in being able to complete and deliver the EIA certificate
within three months. This EIA study is a basic requirement before
the Minister of Mines can award a Special Mining Licence. Field
studies have already commenced at site with the various Government
and local representatives being involved in the initial baseline
studies.
