Rokmaster Resources (RKR) has increased its extraction rate for a high-recovery process of gold, silver, and other metals for its Revel Ridge Project.

Rokmaster’s recent test program assessed proven metal recovery technologies to refine and optimize the metallurgical responses of the Revel Ridge Main Zone mineralization.

For the past few years, Rokmaster completed tests to advance its flowsheet from an initial overall gold recovery of 74.3 per cent to 96.8 per cent.

The new flowsheet parameters used to achieve these high levels include advanced grinding methods, bulk flotation of sulphides to pull gold, lead, and zinc, and pressure oxidization leaching.

“Rokmaster has defined an efficient process flowsheet that achieves significantly improved recoveries of all target metals and is the first of its kind for the Revel Ridge Project… Getting to this transformative stage has taken an impressive amount of testing and commitment, and we would like to thank our metallurgists for continued perseverance and achieving such excellent results to unlock the potential value of the RRMZ,” John Mirko, President and CEO of Rokmaster said.

Rokmaster stated it will now progress with additional metallurgical testing of other variable parts of the project’s mineralization, including the visible native gold areas, updating the recent PEA, and engineering as it continues drilling for resource expansion.

The developments were supported by Canenco Consulting Corp., Base Metallurgical Laboratories Ltd. and SGS Canada Inc., which provided Rokmaster with a repeatable gold extraction process and significantly de-risked the Revel Ridge Project.

Rokmaster Resources Corp. (RKR) is up 9.09 per cent trading at $0.18 per share as of 3:21 p.m. ET.
