Highlights:

- Construction of Gravity Circuit on schedule

- Independent Metallurgical testing indicates high gravity recovery rates 180,000 tonnes per annum capacity

- Stress testing to commence end of March

As previously announced, A1 Consolidated Gold Limited delivered an initial test bulk ore sample to Octagonal Resources Limited’s (ASX:ORS) Maldon Plant for processing. This test bulk sample demonstrated that the ore from the A1 Gold Mine required a gravity circuit in order to maximise treatment and recovery.

A1 Consolidated Gold Limited (ASX:AYC) following metallurgical testwork with Gekko Systems, commenced sourcing of components and construction of a mobile gravity circuit to be placed at the Octagonal Resource Limited’s (ASX:ORS) Maldon Plant.

The Company is pleased to announce this initiative is running on schedule and expects to be stress testing the gravity circuit during the last week of March.
Following successful stress tests, commissioning of the mobile gravity circuit will commence the first week of April.

Managing Directors Comment

Dennis Clark, “We are excited about commissioning our gravity circuit, which will provide for initial treatment of 4,000 tonnes per month. The independent metallurgical testing has indicated a high gravity recovery rate.”
