RZOLV Reports Positive Lab Results for Copper-Gold Extraction
RZOLV Technologies reported preliminary lab results showing gold recoveries of 82.3% to 94.8% and copper extraction of 71% to 80% from low-grade copper-gold samples, supporting further development of its proprietary sequential extraction process.
RZOLV Technologies Inc. announced positive preliminary laboratory results from initial scoping tests on low-grade copper-gold composite samples using its proprietary RZOLV platform.
The tests, conducted under unoptimized conditions, yielded calculated-head gold recoveries ranging from 82.3% to 94.8% and copper extraction of 71% to 80%. These results support further evaluation of a feed-specific copper pretreatment and gold-leach pathway. The company is focused on developing a sequential extraction process that could improve recovery rates for complex ores.
For precious metals traders, this development highlights ongoing innovation in mining technology that could potentially lower production costs and increase supply from previously uneconomical deposits. While the results are preliminary and from lab-scale tests, successful commercialization could have implications for gold supply dynamics.
