Blossom Gold reports 73% gold recovery in initial Rosebud heap-leach tests on oxide material
Reuters2026/08/27 10:02- Blossom Gold reported initial cyanide bottle-roll results for the Rosebud open-pit heap-leach project in Nevada, supporting feasibility work.
- Oxide composites at a 25 mm crush averaged 73% gold recovery, 63% silver recovery, pointing to a one-inch crush with agglomeration.
- Fresh rock at a 25 mm crush averaged 36% gold recovery, 40% silver recovery, with about 1.47% sulfides.
- Roasting one fresh interval lifted estimated gold recovery above 100%, signalling sulfide-related leach inhibition requiring more test work.
- Jim Wickens was engaged as metallurgical adviser; column leach results, plus additional bottle-roll data, are expected in Q4 2026.
