Amigo Resources reports PGM recovery trial from Tanzania tailings

Amigo Resources PLC announced the successful recovery of platinum group metals from historical gold processing tailings in Tanzania. A 10-kilogram copper-rich collector metal ingot was produced, containing 0.519% osmium and 0.095% iridium. The ingot also included 81.510% copper, 17.504% iron, and 0.021% gold. The metals were recovered through a process involving mineral concentration, controlled leaching, copper cementation, electrowinning, and furnace smelting.

The trial ingot was created as part of Amigo's ongoing pyrometallurgical copper-matte evaluation program. The company emphasized that the trial results do not represent a change in direction or a confirmation of commercial production potential. Amigo is now engaging with regional and international partners to explore market demand and potential commercial off-take arrangements for the copper-PGM intermediate product.
