TORONTO, Nov 29, 2004 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Eurasia Gold Corp. (TSX-V symbol: EGX):
Subsequent to the commissioning of the crushing and agglomeration complex ("complex") at Central Mukur the operational trials using the complex have improved the gold recovered from the leaching operations by 24.5%.
The method used prior to the introduction of the complex at Central Mukur for stacking and irrigating untreated run of mine ore onto the leach pads was by using 30 tonne dump trucks and levelling the ore using a bulldozer. Compaction of the ore is unavoidable using this system and the gold recovered from the leaching operations was 58.2%.
The new complex is designed to process 180 to 200 tonnes per hour, resulting in an annual nominal treatment capacity in the range of 700,000 to 750,000 tonnes. To further improve the efficiency of the system and to avoid damage and compaction of the prepared agglomerates the material is now placed on the leach pad by using grasshopper conveyor system and radial stacker prior to final irrigation.
The recovery rates now being achieved using the new complex and stacking system for the ore currently being mined is 72.5%.
