A bulk sample from the Croinor gold project in the eastern Abitibi district of Quebec has yielded 3,834 oz. gold in a milling campaign.
Owner South Malartic Exploration (MSU-V) mined a total of 24,363 tonnes of material from an open pit at Croinor, which was shipped to Richmont Mines’ (RIC-T) Camflo mill near Val d’Or. The sample had a head grade of 5.4 grams gold, and a recovered grade of 5.0 grams, per tonne.
The results are in line with estimates by consulting firm Innovexplo, which calculated a measured and indicated resource of 1.4 million tonnes grading 6.3 grams gold per tonne at Croinor last June. Earlier test mining had produced disappointing millhead grades.
The company is now looking at funding a pre-feasibility study on underground production from the project.
