Xanadu Mines disclosed metallurgical test results for the Kharmagtai Project in Mongolia, a joint venture with Zijin Mining Group.
Column leaching tests on oxide material revealed up to 93% copper and 46% gold extraction from the Kharmagtai mineral resource estimate, covering approximately 1.3 billion tonnes.
The company aims to integrate sulphide flotation with oxide leach processes to optimize project output.
The next phase involves large-scale column leach testing for detailed process and engineering designs in the pre-feasibility study.
