Surefire Resources NL reported outstanding results from sighter-level metallurgical testwork on mineralisation at its 100% owned Yidby Gold Project located in Western Australia. The testwork program achieved: high gold recoveries in the gravity component; and low cyanide and lime consumption to leach the remaining leachable gold component. Metallurgical testwork was designed to provide an indication of the gravity recoverable gold content, the cyanidable gold content, the overall gold recovery, the nature of the gold leach kinetics, lime and sodium cyanide reagent consumption rates.

The program was conducted by ALS in Perth on samples collected from a variety of previous RC exploration drilling programs. Composites weighing approximately 20kg each were created from a variety of RC holes previously drilled across the Yidby deposit, from a range of depths, grades, lithologies and oxide and fresh material types.
