en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mount Hope Mining has confirmed the amenability of the gold system to cyanidation through cyanide leach testing on samples from the Solitary Mountain Gold Project. The company conducted 30-gram cyanide leach analyses on 234 archived pulp samples, with results showing an average gold dissolution of 88%, consistent from surface to a depth of 140 metres, covering all oxidation domains, including deep fresh rock.

Mount Hope Mining Managing Director and CEO Fergus Kiley said: "An average cyanide leach dissolution of 88% across 234 paired samples is a genuinely strong result for this stage of the project, and the consistency of that figure across all domains is exactly what you want to see. It indicates this is not a near-surface or weathering-driven effect, but rather a property of the gold system itself."

Solitary Mountain is located in the Cobar Basin, a region that hosts multiple operating carbon-in-leach processing plants, some of which have underutilised capacity. Mount Hope believes this result increases the potential for a rapid, low-capital development pathway. The company plans to evaluate toll treatment and ore purchase opportunities while advancing a maiden resource estimate. More advanced metallurgical testing will also be conducted in the future, including bottle roll and column leach tests on core from the Phase 3 drilling program. Previous drilling has already identified significant gold mineralisation, such as 6 metres at 17.9 g/t gold from 55 metres, and 19 metres at 4.5 g/t gold from 39 metres.
