Business Wire
Lake Victoria Mining Company (OTCBB: LVCA) announces encouraging
gold recovery test results from its Kinyambwiga project in northern
Tanzania. Two gold bearing samples each weighing about 40 kilograms
were tested by two independent metallurgical laboratories.
The first set of test results were completed by Peacocke &
Simpson Mineral Processing Engineers in Harare, Zimbabwe. The
second tests were completed in Vancouver, British Columbia by
Met-Solve Laboratories, Inc.. Both laboratories are independent of
each other and the Company. Testing found that Kinyambwiga’s gold
can be recovered by conventional and routine metallurgical methods,
which will be used to design the project’s most economical and
optimal recovery process.
Peacocke & Simpson ResultsThe Peacocke & Simpson
(P&S) sample had an average assayed head grade of 7.24
grams/metric tonne gold, and was tested for gold recovery by
gravity, flotation and leaching methods. When the rock was crushed
to 100 percent minus 1.0 millimeter the gravity gold recovery was
24.2 percent. With continued grinding so that 80 percent of the
rock was less than 0.75 millimeters, the total gravity recoverable
gold increased to 54.5 percent.
Flotation of the gravity tails was undertaken using two
different flotation reagents. Both methods, combined with the
results of gravity recoverable gold returned gold recoveries of
81.0 and 83.8 percent respectively.
Agitated leaching of the gravity tails recovered 84.1 percent of
the remaining gold providing for an overall gravity and leaching
recovery of 92.7 percent of the gold in the sample. These are
laboratory results and actual mine site operational results may
differ.
Met-Solve ResultsThe Met-Solve (MS) sample had an average
assayed head grade of 9.80 grams/metric tonne gold. The rock was
crushed and ground to 80 percent minus 0.071 millimeters and had a
gravity recoverable gold content of 60.6 percent. Leaching of the
gravity tails recovered 88.5 percent of the balance yielding a
combined gravity plus cyanide leach recovery of 95.5 percent.
Met-Solve then conducted:
- two recovery tests combining gravity
and flotation methods using two different flotation reagents with
recovery results of 85.2 and 85.6 percent.
- two tests combining gravity with
flotation, then followed by leaching of the flotation concentrates.
These results were 84.0 and 84.2 percent.
The complete Met-Solve – Gravity, Flotation and Cyanide Leach
Test Work report may be viewed on our corporate website in the
Kinyambwiga Gold Project section.
SummaryIn summary, results from the two independent
laboratories tend to verify and confirm each others findings. The
P&S gravity-only-recovery was 54.5 percent and the MS
gravity-only-results were 60.1 percent; both results are
encouraging. The additional leach test results from both
laboratories ranged between 92.7 and 95.5 percent respectively.
David Kalenuik, Lake Victoria’s CEO and President stated: “While
these are initial and preliminary results, the gravity and the
additional tests suggest Kinyambwiga’s gold is readily recoverable
by time-tested routine methods. These are very positive results and
will be used to help design and balance the most optimal
metallurgical recovery method versus projected operating and
capital cost requirements. It appears that gravity and cyanide
leach of the gravity tails provides the best recovery option.”

Follow Our Pathway to ProductionVisit the LVCA Media Room
on the Company’s corporate website and watch and listen in on the
continuing developments on our pathway to gold production. We are
in anticipation of a visit to the project area by the National
Environment Management Council (NEMC) as they review our current
draft environmental application. Additionally, the successful
achievement of a Special Mining License will be accomplished in
working in harmony with the District Commissioner, District
Counselors and village administration. We will work to bring you up
close to all these developments as they happen.
About the CompanyLake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. is
working to create another gold mine in the world famous Lake
Victoria Greenstone Belt, Tanzania, East Africa. Tanzania is
Africa's fourth largest gold producer, behind South Africa and
Ghana, but also has reserves of uranium, nickel and coal. Gold
exports alone earned it $1.076 billion in 2009, up from $932.4
million the previous year. Lake Victoria holds nine prospective
gold projects and five uranium projects within its Tanzania
property portfolio. Additional information regarding the Company is
