Tokur - Processing Methods

Processing at Tokur is expected to commence in 2009, through small scale operations yielding 3,000 oz in 2009 and ramping up to approximately 50,000 oz in 2012. The operation will be expanded to treat gold bearing arsenical quartz ores as operations develop. The feasibility of this is currently being investigated by the Group.

A flow sheet for the treatment of the quartz ore is expected to involve gravity, flotation and intensive leaching of the concentrates. The recovery of gold using this process is expected to be 74.2 per cent. and cyanide leach recovery of the concentrate is expected to be 93.9 per cent.
