Small parcels of ore were processed. Test operations were successfully conducted; with assessment and commissioning now complete this plant will now be moved to Kat Gap.
JT Metallurgical Services Pty Ltd (JTMS) undertook the testing and commissioning of the plant. They generated a process flow diagram, process design, electrical load study and mass/water balance for the plant capable of achieving maximum gold recovery.
JTMS provided metallurgical support and guidance to Classic Minerals with regard to testing and commissioning the pilot plant that was conducted at Classsic's testing site in Gnangara WA.
