Flynn Gold Achieves 94% Gold Extraction in Metallurgical Tests at Golden Ridge The samples, grading between 0.1 g/t and 4.5 g/t gold, were sourced from broad zones of lower-grade mineralisation outside the high-grade vein domains that underpin the November 2024 Exploration Target. The testwork was designed to assess whether this lower-grade material could support bulk-mining scenarios alongside the higher-grade veins.
