RCM Achieves Over 1000g/t Silver Recoveries in Ore Sorting Tests

Key Points

Successful ore sorting tests on Webbs stockpiles
Unprocessed ore upgraded to 994g/t silver
Processed waste upgraded to 1120g/t silver
Potential for reduced milling costs and improved economics

Full Summary

Rapid Critical Metals Limited (RCM) has reported excellent results from ore sorting tests conducted on historical stockpiles at the Webbs Silver Mine. The tests, completed by TOMRA Sorting Pty Ltd, involved X-ray Transmission (XRT) ore sorting on two samples: WPWHS, a historically processed waste stockpile, and WSHMM, an unprocessed historical ore stockpile. The unprocessed ore sample (WSHMM) was upgraded from 565g/t Ag to a concentrate grading 994g/t Ag, with 98% of the silver reporting to the concentrate. The processed waste sample (WPWHS) saw its silver content upgraded from 164.6g/t to 1120g/t Ag in the first pass, with 94% of the sample mass rejected as barren. These results indicate the potential for substantially smaller processing plants and significant cost savings in milling throughput, energy consumption, and operating costs.

Outlook

The successful ore sorting results are expected to significantly improve the economics of the Webbs project, potentially enabling a smaller processing plant and reducing operating costs.
