Malachite plans boosted

摘要

Plans by Australian miner Malachite Resources for generating cash flow by mining of alluvial tin at Elsmore, near Inverell in northern NSW, have been given a major boost by the results of metallurgical test work recently undertaken for the Company in Germany. The company has announced that it has received encouraging results from new metallurgical test work, involving dry processing, conducted on a bulk sample of the Karaula Lead alluvial tin depositl at the University of Aachen in Germany. Managing Director, Garry Lowder, summed up the new results by saying: "This is a very promising step forward for our Elsmore Project and it has been well worth waiting for. The biggest problems in wet processing alluvial deposits generally are getting hold of enough water in the first place and then disposing of the slimes generated in washing the alluvium afterwards.
