Roscan Gold Reports Positive Preliminary
Metallurgical Test Results for its Mankouke
South Target
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2020) -
Roscan Gold Corporation
(TSXV: ROS)
(FSE: 2OJ) (OTC Pink: RCGCF)
("Roscan" or the "Company")
is pleased to report on bottle roll
test work recently completed on crushed rejects of diamond drill samples from the Mankouke South
Target.
Test work has been completed at ALS Laboratory in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in August
2020 and recorded an overall metallurgical recovery of 90% from 139 samples (Table 1).
The preliminary test work (bottle roll) in 2020 was focused on defining the cyanide recoveries that are
expected from the Mankouke South project material. Additional work is still required for the metallurgical
process at Mankouke South, but no significant metallurgical issues related to gold recovery have been
identified from the work to date.
Nana Sangmuah, President and CEO, stated,
"Preliminary metallurgical testing shows high recoveries
of up to 96.5% in the Mankouke South Target. Further metallurgical test work will be completed in
2021 to determine the variation in gold recoveries between the oxide, transition zones and fresh rock.
We are very excited and encouraged about these initial results, which clearly indicate the potential to
recover the gold in a conventional manner."
