Sample 1 test delivers peak recoveries within 48 hours

The top result came from Sample 1 (LT15), run at a P80 53μm grind with 5,000 ppm initial and 2,500 ppm maintained sodium cyanide and no lead nitrate. Head assay recoveries were 84.5% for silver and 83.6% for gold, with peak recoveries indicated between 0 and 48 hours. Most recoverable metal in the test was extracted in the first 24 hours.
