International Tower Hill Mines Provides Progress Report on Antimony Metallurgy Study at the Livengood Gold Project
Prnewswireยท 2025-09-04 20:05
Core Viewpoint - International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. has announced positive results from the first phase of the metallurgical study on antimony mineralization at the Livengood Gold Project, indicating potential for further exploration and development [1][4]. Company Overview - International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. holds a 100% interest in the Livengood Gold Project, located 70 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska, along the paved Elliott Highway [7]. Technical Report Summary - The most recent S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary, amended on October 13, 2023, introduced a new geological model for the Livengood deposit, detailing a gold reserve of 9.0 million ounces within a measured and indicated resource of 13.6 million ounces [2]. - The report projected a gold production of 6.4 million ounces over 21 years, but did not include metallurgical studies on the recoverability of antimony from the stibnite veins at that time [2]. Metallurgical Study Results - Following the March 4, 2025 announcement, the company compiled four metallurgical composites from individual veins and sent them to Advanced Mineral Technology Laboratory Ltd. for antimony deportment work [3]. - The assays indicated that antimony is primarily carried by stibnite, with most stibnite being of a floatable size (>10 micron), and liberation of stibnite is effective at a grind size of p80 250 micron, suggesting good potential for flotation [3]. Next Steps - The results from the metallurgical study justify moving into the next phase of testing to evaluate potential flowsheets and flotation responses, with plans to commence this work immediately at SGS Vancouver and SGS Lakefield [4].
