Coffey Contracted To Undertake Metallurgical Tests
Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV:DBG) has engaged Coffey to carry out metallurgical extraction characterisation studies of the HAT Gold Rich Copper Porphyry Project with the preliminary focus on Cobalt.
The initial objective is the metallurgical characterisation of the Hat drill core samples to evaluate the potential for Cobalt recovery. The testwork programme will be led by EUR ING Andrew Carter B.Sc. CEng. MIMMM, MSAIMM SME, Technical Director of Coffey.
An initial technical review indicated that it should be possible to recover a high cobalt pyrite concentrate from a copper cleaning circuit.
Confirmation of the recoverability of cobalt will permit inclusion of cobalt values in the calculation of the gold or copper equivalent grade for the HAT project.
Samples have been taken for preliminary batch flotation testwork, which will be undertaken by Met-Solve Laboratories Inc. of Langley BC.
Coffey and Tetra Tech provide metallurgical consulting services to the battery and technologies metals sectors including copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, vanadium, lithium and graphite.
The company has announced that it has shut down the drilling for the holiday break. The drill site has been set up for the next hole and the assay results for recently completed drill holes will be published as soon as received and verified for quality assurance and technical information. Commencement of the drilling in 2021 will be announced accordingly.
