Tocvan posts up to 82.25% gold recovery in Gran Pilar closed-circuit column leach tests
Bitget2026/09/25 05:30- Tocvan Ventures reported closed-circuit column leach results supporting heap-leach processing at the Gran Pilar gold-silver project in Sonora, Mexico.
- Column tests on a 1,037 kg composite returned 75.36%–82.25% gold extraction, with higher recovery at a finer P80 3/8-inch crush.
- Silver extraction reached 49.12%–57.99% over 77 leach days, implying an Ag:Au ratio near 4.7–5.0.
- Agglomeration did not improve recovery, while increasing NaCN consumption; non-agglomerated columns used 1.08–1.29 kg/t NaCN.
- Results underpin a permitted 50,000-ton heap-leach pilot targeting first production in Q4 2026, improving on a 2023 heap test.

German equipment manufacturer SCHMID has disclosed that it is collaborating with core firms in the supply chains of Intel, Nvidia, and AMD to develop glass substrate production equipment. Glass substrates are expected to replace silicon interposers, enhancing packaging density and data transmission capacity, and allowing for the integration of more HBMs. However, obstacles remain in the TGV metallization process, end-customer certification has not yet been completed, and large-scale commercialization will still take time.
