Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. announced gold recovery test results from its Kinyambwiga project in northern Tanzania. Two gold bearing samples each weighing about 40 kilograms were tested by two independent metallurgical laboratories. The first set of test results were completed by Peacocke & Simpson Mineral Processing Engineers in Harare, Zimbabwe.

The second tests were completed in Vancouver, British Columbia by Met-Solve Laboratories, Inc. Both laboratories are independent of each other and the Company. Testing found that Kinyambwiga's gold can be recovered by conventional and routine metallurgical methods, which will be used to design the project's most economical and optimal recovery process. Peacocke & Simpson results: The Peacocke & Simpson (P&S) sample had an average assayed head grade of 7.24 grams/metric tonne gold, and was tested for gold recovery by gravity, flotation and leaching methods.

When the rock was crushed to 100% minus 1.0 millimeter the gravity gold recovery was 24.2%. With continued grinding so that 80% of the rock was less than 0.75 millimeters, the total gravity recoverable gold increased to 54.5%. Flotation of the gravity tails was undertaken using two different flotation reagents.

Both methods, combined with the results of gravity recoverable gold returned gold recoveries of 81.0 and 83.8% respectively. Agitated leaching of the gravity tails recovered 84.1% of the remaining gold providing for an overall gravity and leaching recovery of 92.7% of the gold in the sample. These are laboratory results and actual mine site operational results may differ.

Met-Solve results: The Met-Solve (MS) sample had an average assayed head grade of 9.80 grams/metric tonne gold. The rock was crushed and ground to 80% minus 0.071 millimeters and had a gravity recoverable gold content of 60.6%. Leaching of the gravity tails recovered 88.5% of the balance yielding a combined gravity plus cyanide leach recovery of 95.5%.

Met-Solve then conducted: two recovery tests combining gravity and flotation methods using two different flotation reagents with recovery results of 85.2% and 85.6%. Two tests combining gravity with flotation, then followed by leaching of the flotation concentrates. These results were 84.0% and 84.2%.
