Northern Superior Reports Positive Metallurgical Testing With Flotation Concentrate Recoveries up to 95.6%
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 6, 2023) - Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSXV: SUP) (OTCQX: NSUPF) ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from metallurgical testing conducted at SGS Laboratory from its Philibert gold deposit, located 60 kilometres southwest of Chibougamau, Québec, Canada (the "Philibert Project" - Northern Superior: 75%; SOQUEM: 25%).
安大略省多伦多-(Newsfile Corp.-2023年7月6日)-Northern Superior Resources Inc.(TSXV:SUP)(OTCQX:NSUPF)(北方优胜者“或”公司)很高兴地报告在SGS实验室对其飞利伯特金矿进行的冶金测试结果,该金矿位于加拿大QuéBEC奇布加莫西南60公里处(The飞利浦项目“-北方优胜:75%;SOQUEM:25%)。
Highlights Include:
亮点 包括:
- Arctic Fox South zone with 95.6% of the gold in 9.5% of mass;
- Arctic Fox North zone with 93.3% of the gold in 13.2% of mass; and
- Red Fox zone with 95.5% of the gold in 15% of mass.
- 北极狐南带含金量95.6%,质量分数9.5%;
- 北极狐北带含金量为93.3%,占总质量的13.2%;和
- 红狐区有95.5%的黄金占15%的质量。
Simon Marcotte, President & Chief Executive Officer of Northern Superior, commented: "With such high recovery of the gold content in a flotation concentrate, recovering the gold in an efficient manner is not expected to be an issue. The gold recovery by flotation from all areas tested to date is favorable and increases our confidence that the Philibert Project demonstrates the right attributes to achieve strong potential economics in the future."
北方优品公司首席执行官兼首席执行官西蒙·马科特表示:“由于浮选精矿中金含量的回收率如此之高,以高效方式回收黄金预计不会成为问题。迄今为止,通过浮选从所有地区回收黄金是有利的,并增强了我们的信心,即飞利浦项目展示了正确的属性,在未来实现了强劲的潜在经济效益。”
A metallurgical test program was completed on three composites from the Philibert deposit, where the main objective was to develop initial metallurgical data to evaluate if the style of mineralization is amenable to flotation followed by cyanidation. Results indicate that cyanidation of the tails may not be required.
完成了对飞利伯特矿床的三种化合物的冶金测试计划,主要目的是开发初始冶金数据,以评估矿化类型是否适合浮选和氰化。结果表明,尾巴可能不需要氰化。
The 34 independent samples on halved NQ drill core used in the program were collected by GoldMinds Geoservices Inc. from the 2022 drilling campaign for sample preparation and gold analysis, head and composite analysis, flotation on three composites, cyanidation and flotation of tails. The three composites were selected from the hanging wall zone of the Philibert Project including the Arctic Fox South, Arctic Fox North, and Red Fox zones. The flotation metallurgical tests done on 2 kg test charges ground to P80 = 75 μm and subjected to flotation under typical conditions for sulphide flotation. The two flotation products were analyzed for gold ("Au"), silver ("Ag"), and sulphur ("S").
该项目中使用的34个NQ钻芯上的独立样品是由GoldMinds Geoservices Inc.从2022年钻探活动中收集的,用于样品制备和黄金分析、头部和化合物分析、三种化合物的浮选、氰化和尾矿浮选。这三个复合材料是从飞利浦项目的悬壁区中挑选出来的,包括北极狐南区、北极狐区和红狐区。进行了2公斤试验的浮选冶金试验,磨矿P80=75μm,在典型的硫化物浮选条件下进行浮选。对这两种浮选产品进行了黄金分析(“Au)、银牌(银)和硫磺(%s“)。
The evaluated samples ranged in head grade from 1.85 g/t Au (Composite 3) to 5.10 g/t Au (Composite 1). The silver content was <2 g/t in all three samples. The three composites responded well to sulphide flotation, with sulphide recoveries from 95% to 97%, gold recoveries from 93% to 96%, and silver recoveries from 38% to 68%, at between 10% and 15% mass recovery. Gold and silver contents in the flotation tails were very low at <0.2 g/t and <0.5 g/t, respectively.
被评估的样品的头部品位从1.85g/t Au(综合3)到5.10 g/t Au(综合1)。三个样品中的银含量均小于2g/t。三种化合物对硫化物浮选反应良好,硫化物回收率为95%~97%,金回收率为93%~96%,银回收率为38%~68%,质量回收率为10%~15%。浮选尾矿中金和银的含量很低,分别小于0.2g/t和
Because of the low gold and silver contents in the tails, it was decided to only carry out the cyanidation tests on the flotation concentrates. Cyanidation of the flotation concentrates yielded final gold extractions ranging from 91% (Composite 3) to 96% (Composite 1).
由于尾矿中金、银含量较低,决定只对浮选精矿进行氰化试验。通过对浮选精矿进行氰化处理,最终的金浸出率从91%(综合3)到96%(综合1)不等。
In Table 1 below, results for screened metallic analysis for Au and Ag by Fire Assay, Sulphur by Leco, whole rock analysis by ICP method, and Graphitic carbon. The head grade was calculated using a 500-gram spilt of the screen metallic analysis. The gold ore grades obtained corresponded well with the results of the calculated average gold grade for Composite 2 and Composite 3 (2.90 g/t versus 2.56 g/t for Composite 2 and 1.89 g/t versus 1.85 g/t for Composite 3). However, the calculated gold grade for Composite 1 was 2.77 g/t versus a grade of 5.10 g/t obtained by screened metallics analysis. The difference is likely due to sampling challenges and the presence of coarse particles of gold in the 500-gram charge used for the screened metallics analysis.
在下面的表1中,金和银的火试金法、LECO法的硫、电感耦合等离子体法全岩分析和石墨炭的筛选金属分析的结果。使用500克泄漏的筛分金属分析来计算头部等级。所获得的金矿品位与综合2和综合3的平均金品位(2.90g/t对2.56g/t和1.89g/t对1.85g/t)的计算结果很好地吻合。然而,计算得到的复合材料1的金品位为2.77g/t,而筛选金属分析得到的品位为5.10g/t。这种差异可能是由于采样困难以及用于筛选金属分析的500克装药中存在粗金颗粒。

The following conclusions can be drawn from the scoping test work on composite samples from the Philibert Project:
从对飞利浦项目复合材料样品的范围测试工作中可以得出以下结论:
- The three composites tested responded well to conventional sulphide flotation at primary grinds of 80-90 μm (P80), yielding >93% gold and sulphide recoveries in mass recoveries of 10-15%;
- The three flotation concentrates responded well to cyanidation at a regrind P80 of 50 to 60 μm, yielding gold recoveries of 91 to 96%. Cyanide consumptions of 1.5 to 2.3 kg/t NaCN were reasonable for concentrate leaching. These consumptions are equivalent to 0.18 to 0.23 kg/t NaCN on a whole mineralized zone basis;
- Overall gold recoveries via cyanidation of flotation concentrates were in the 86% to 92% range; and
- Despite the close association between gold and the sulphide minerals in the flotation process, the test work shows the gold in this deposit is not locked in the sulphides and is amenable to cyanidation.
- 在80~90μm(P80)的一次磨矿条件下,三种组合对常规硫化物浮选反应良好,金和硫化物的回收率均大于93%,质量回收率为10~15%;
- 三个浮选精矿在再磨P80为50~60μm时对氰化反应良好,金回收率为91~96%。精矿浸出的氰化物用量以1.5~2.3 kg/t NaCN为宜。按整个矿化带计算,这些消耗量相当于0.18~0.23公斤/吨NaCN;
- 浮选精矿氰化提金的总体回收率在86%至92%之间;以及
- 尽管金在浮选过程中与硫化物矿物紧密结合,但试验工作表明,该矿床中的金不锁定在硫化物中,易于氰化。
