• Metallurgical test work confirms gold recoveries of up to 97.2% at Wagtail.
• Results indicate free-milling, non-refractory gold mineralization suitable for conventional processing.
• Low reagent consumption and rapid leach kinetics support potential cost efficiencies.

SSH Group Ltd, through its subsidiary High-Tech Metals Ltd, has reported highly encouraging metallurgical test-work results from the Wagtail Gold Deposit, part of the Mt Fisher Gold Project in Western Australia. The metallurgical program confirmed the deposit hosts free-milling, non-refractory gold mineralization suitable for conventional gravity and cyanide leach processing. Test work returned excellent gold recoveries across a range of grind sizes, with overall extraction ranging from 96.8% at P80 180µm to 98.7% at P80 75µm. Importantly, recoveries remained consistently high at coarser grind sizes, indicating strong processing flexibility and the potential for improved plant throughput in a conventional milling circuit. The results support ongoing mining, toll-treatment and development studies being undertaken in partnership with SSH Group.
