New Century Resources Limited announced Successful Upgrade of Jameson Cell Feed Directly to Saleable Concentrate and Improving Overall Plant Recoveries >50% Solid progress with the Jameson Cell slurry commissioning program to date Early achievement of saleable concentrate production direct from the Jameson Cell, providing the option for removal of a portion of the zinc concentrate stream from cleaner circuit feed Commissioning progress has aided plant performance, with operations recently achieving a 7-day average recovery of >50%, and peak daily recoveries up to 53% New Century initiated slurry commissioning of the Jameson Cell in early May following successful completion of cell refurbishment and water commissioning. As part of the commissioning process, New Century has engaged consultants from Glencore Technologies (inventors of the Jameson Cell) and Mineralis Consultants to assist with the start-up commissioning strategy, a review and provision of staff training and the integration of the Jameson Cell into the existing processing circuit. The slurry commissioning to date has made solid progress, delivering positive early results including: Concentrate Upgrade: Demonstrated capability for the upgrade of Jameson Cell slurry feed directly into saleable concentrate of 48%+ zinc, allowing for the option to remove zinc concentrate produced by the cell from the cleaning circuit. Recovery Improvement: Jameson Cell commissioning to date has aided in the delivery of improved plant performance, with overall recoveries increasing over the slurry commissioning period and recently achieving a 7-day weighted average recovery of >50% for the first time in 15 months, with peak daily result of up to 53%. The current focus of commissioning is on completing punch list items and finalising the integration of the Jameson Cell into the overall flowsheet, as well as continued optimisation of the overall performance of the plant under the upgraded flowsheet. Commissioning is scheduled to continue throughout June, with the Company to provide further updates as part of June quarterly reporting.
