"We are pleased with the results of the most recent phase of metallurgical test work at Queensway, which confirms high gold recovery to a saleable gold concentrate from Keats West and the flowsheet outlined in the recently released Queensway PEA," said Keith Boyle, Chief Executive Officer, in the press release statement.
