Kootenay Reports Metallurgical Testing on La Cigarra Deposit Returns Enhanced Silver Recoveries Utilizing Silvox Process
January 22, 2017
James McDonald, P.Geo, President and CEO stated, Although additional metallurgical testing using standard and SILVOX processes will be required to further assess silver recoveries, results from preliminary testing utilizing the SILVOX process are highly encouraging. The ability to achieve enhanced silver recoveries could have a profound impact on the economic viability of La Cigarra and its potential near-term development as a low-cost, open-pit heap leach operation. Further detailed metallurgical testing using standard and SILVOX processes is expected to be completed in the near future.
