GOLD: Inventus likes results of Pardo ore sorting and bulk sampling

ONTARIO – Inventus Mining Corp. of Toronto is mulling over the results of two recent studies from its Pardo paleoplacer gold project near Sudbury. The project is a conglomerate-hosted deposit within rocks 2.4 billion years gold. A similar sedimentary formation hosts the Witwatersrand basin, where many of the world’s most productive gold mines are.

Simulations suggest that 91% of the contained gold could be sorted into only 35% of the original mass (i.e. 35% mass pull). The average simulated gold grade of the product is 29.37 g/t gold, compared to 11.31 g/t in the feed. A mini-bulk sample weighing 110.7 kg was taken from Pardo so that processing methods could be evaluated. The sample was treated to grinding and gravity concentration on a shaker table. Approximately 69% of the gold was collected by gravity methods. The balance reported to a tailings concentrate. Inventus plans to optimize gold recovery perhaps with the addition of other processes.
