DLP Reports Results from Its Initial Metallurgical Study on Its Aurora Property, Peru

By: Newsfile

High recoveries achieved (95.8% Cu, 86.4% Mo, 89.3% Ag) to saleable concentrates.

Cranbrook, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 29, 2024) - DLP Resources Inc. (TSXV: DLP) (OTCQB: DLPRF) ("DLP" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from the initial metallurgical scoping study on its Aurora Project in southern Peru. The Company commissioned C.H. Plenge & Cia S.A. ("Plenge") in Lima, Peru to complete test work programs on three composites taken from the partially leached (M-1), copper enriched/mixed (M-2) and primary Mo-rich (M-3) zones. The test work reported:

  1. Head Assays.

  2. Mineralogy.

  3. Recovery of copper, silver, and molybdenum by flotation.

  4. Copper-Molybdenum separation by flotation.

Highlights are listed below, and detailed results highlighted in Tables 1-11.

Ian Gendall, President & CEO, commented: "Aurora has simple metallurgy that returns high recoveries of critical minerals, copper and molybdenum from standard flotation processes into high-grade concentrates free of deleterious elements. This first phase of metallurgical test work has confirmed high recoveries of copper (95.8%), molybdenum (86.4%) and silver (89.3%) in the rougher concentrate from the composite of partially leached, enriched/mixed and primary mineralized zones. These excellent recoveries for copper, molybdenum and silver at a time when molybdenum prices are at $30/lb, copper at $4.20/lb and silver at $29/oz, bode well for the economics of the project moving forward."

Highlights

  1. The major copper mineral is chalcopyrite followed by chalcocite while molybdenum is molybdenite. The main gangue is quartz followed by orthoclase and muscovite. Pyrite is the main sulphide gangue.
  2. High recoveries for copper ("Cu"), molybdenum ("Mo") and silver ("Ag") in the rougher concentrate from the composite created from the partially leached (M1), copper enriched (M2) and primary Mo-rich (M3) zones were 95.8%, 86.4% and 89.3%, respectively. The primary grind was 150 microns and concentrate regrind of 20 to 44 microns.
  3. The best conditions for maximum molybdenum, copper and silver recovery were determined and verified by Run 32-C with pH of 9.5, a primary grind of P80-133 microns using collectors consisting of - Xanthate SIBX (Z-14) 27 g/ t, A-208 11 g/ t, F. Oil 10g/ t, frother MIBC 17 g/t and a flotation time of 12 min. This gave recoveries of Ag-71.6%, Cu-97.4% and Mo-92.4%.
  4. Copper molybdenum separation was successfully tested on a copper molybdenum concentrate obtained from a large, locked test .
  5. A commercial grade molybdenum concentrate was floated for composite M-1 and assayed 52.6% molybdenum at 61% recovery. Similarly, for composite M-3 the concentrate assayed 49.7% molybdenum at 84% recovery from the feed. In both cases NaSH was used as depressant and the separation stages limited to four because of mass restrictions. Copper molybdenum separation was not tested for composite M-2. Additional testing for M-2 extending the cleaner flotation time to accommodate the slow floating molybdenum was recommended by Plenge
  6. The projected metallurgical balances from lock cycle testing ("LCT") for M-1 and M-2 were as follows:
    1. Composite M-1 (partial leached zone) gave a bulk concentrate assaying 153g/ t silver,17.7% copper and 3.8% molybdenum with recoveries of 53.3%, 81.8% and 62.4%, respectively.
    2. Composite M-3 (Primary Mo-rich) the bulk concentrate assayed 57.7 g/ t silver, 7.5 % copper and 28% molybdenum with recoveries of 61%, 85.6% and 89.8%, respectively. The low copper grade is due to the high molybdenum grade and recovery.
  7. The average recovery to the bulk concentrate from the composite consisting of all three test composites, M-1 (partial leached zone), M-2 (enriched/mixed copper zone) and M-3 (primary Mo-rich zone) for silver, copper and molybdenum were 60.8%, 83.2% and 67.6%, respectively. The concentrate grades range from 17.7% to 29.5% copper and molybdenum from 1.5% to 28.0%.
  8. For the master composite (M-1+M-2+M-3) roughly 70% of the value is represented by molybdenum, 27% by copper and 3% by silver therefore it may be considered a molybdenum ore.
  9. No significant penalty or deleterious elements were found for both copper and molybdenum concentrate.
  10. Further improvements in grade and recovery are foreseeable with further testing.

Metallurgical Scoping Study Summary

The metallurgical test work program at C.H. Plenge & Cia S.A. ("Plenge") in Lima, Peru included studies on three composite samples sent to the Plenge Laboratory Lima offices by DLP on October 25, 2023. The three composite samples were taken from ¼ diamond drill core and included, M-1 (~161kg), M-2 (~155kg) and M-3 (~149kg). These composite samples were taken from 7 drillholes totaling ~465kg and represented the following intervals:

  1. M-1: Partial leached zone in mineralized porphyry from 24 to 121m,

  2. M-2: Cu enriched/mixed zone in mineralized porphyry between 111 and 363m and,

  3. M-3: Primary Mo-rich zone in mineralized porphyry from 478 to 988m.

The samples were selected from the Aurora porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver deposit to represent the mineralization, metal grades and lithology type for the initial metallurgical test work.

The test works main objective, was to obtain the following information on the three composite samples M-1, M-2 and M-3 and the master composite of all three.

1. Head Assays.

2. Mineralogy.

3. Recovery of Copper, Silver, and Molybdenum by flotation.

4. Copper Molybdenum Separation by flotation.

Sample Selection

The metallurgical samples were taken from seven of the thirteen drill holes drilled in 2013 and are listed in Tables 1 and 2 below. The samples were selected to represent the mineralization, metal grades and lithology type for the initial metallurgical test work.

For the master composite, roughly 70% of the value is represented by molybdenum, 27% by copper and 3% by silver therefore it may be considered a molybdenum ore.

Rougher Flotation Testing

Master Composite (M.C)

A Master Composite, M.C. , was prepared by blending equal parts of each of the three composites, M-1, M-2, and M-3.

Rougher reagent collection and dosage was explored by seven flotation kinetics tests. The tests were run at fine grind of P80=106 μ to reduce mineral liberation effects. All tests were run at pH=9.5 using 10 g/ t Fuel Oil as molybdenum collector.

A set of 31 kinetic flotation rougher tests were per formed to optimize rougher flotation using design of experiments (D.O.E).

Best conditions for rougher flotation were test 32C at:

  • pH=9.5

  • Primary Grind P80= 133 μm

Collectors Xanthate SIBX (Z-14) 27 g/ t

A-208 11 g/ t

F. Oi l 10g/ t

Frother MIBC 17 g/ t

Flotation Time of 12 min

The average rougher concentrate recovery for silver, copper and molybdenum were 89.3%, 95.8% and 86.4%, respectively (Table 7). The average mass pull was 6.3%. The flotation circuit and reagents used is typically encountered in the copper molybdenum mining industry. The primary grind was 150 microns and concentrate regrind of 20 to 44 microns.

Note: - Mass Pull = flowrate of solids reporting to the concentrate.

Copper molybdenum separation was successfully tested on a copper molybdenum concentrate obtained from a large, locked test . The copper bulk concentrate and recoveries are slightly different due to the lower bulk concentrate grade.

The projected metallurgical balances from lock cycle testing for Composite M-1 (partially leached zone) gave a bulk concentrate assaying 153 g/ t silver, 17.7% copper and 3.8% molybdenum with recoveries of 53.3%, 81.8% and 62.4%, respectively.

For Composite M-3 the bulk concentrate assayed 57.7 g/ t silver, 7.5 % copper and 28% molybdenum with recoveries of 61%, 85.6% and 89.8%, respectively. The low copper grade is due to the high molybdenum grade and recovery.

The LCT for composite M-2 stabilized for copper however not for molybdenum therefore the projected metallurgical balance is not posted. The values reported are based on a six-cycle lock flotation test but assume that all intermediate products reported to tails and are therefore on the conservative side with some loss of copper recovery. The bulk concentrate assayed 234.2 g/t silver, 29.5% copper and 1.52% molybdenum with recoveries of 68%, 82.1% and 50.5%, respectively. The concentrate mass pull was 1.74% (Table 8).

Notes: Copper reached stability, however molybdenum did not, building up in the cleaner circuit. It is possible that the cleaner flotation times were too short for the slow floating molybdenum preventing it from reaching stability. No molybdenum separation was per formed for M-2 because the locked test didn't reach stability.

  • Conc Cu-Mo : Cu-Mo concentrate
  • Midl 2, 3 + Cl Scv Conc : Middlings 2 and 3 plus cleaner scavenger concentrate
  • Cl Scv Tail : Cleaner scavenger tail
  • Rgh Conc : Rougher concentrate
  • Rgh Tails : Rougher Tails

The average recovery to the bulk concentrate for silver, copper and molybdenum were 60.8%, 83.2% and 67.6%, respectively. The concentrate grades range from 17.7% to 29.5% copper and molybdenum from 1.5% to 28.0%. The average concentrate mass pull is 1.11%, equivalent to a Recovery of 90.09%.

Copper Molybdenum Separation Open Circuit

A commercial grade molybdenum concentrate was floated for composite M-1 and assayed 52.6% molybdenum at 61% recovery. Similarly, for composite M-3 the concentrate assayed 49.7% molybdenum at 84% recovery from the feed. In both cases NaSH was used as depressant and the separation stages limited to four because of mass restrictions. Copper molybdenum separation was not tested for composite M-2.

No penalty elements were found for both copper and molybdenum concentrate and further improvements in grade and recovery are foreseeable with further testing.

Mineralogy

Quantitative mineralogy using AMICS by Dr . Paul Miranda and XRD bulk mineralogy indicates that the ore major phases are quartz, orthoclase, and muscovite. The major copper minerals are chalcopyrite and chalcocite with minor quantities of bornite (M1 and M2), enargite (M-2) and chrysocolla (M-3). Chalcopyrite mineral association was determined. According to the data, M-1 is associated with bornite, orthoclase, chalcocite, and quartz. For M-2, chalcopyrite is associated with bornite, quartz, and chalcocite. For M-3, orthoclase, quartz, and muscovite are the main associated minerals with minor pyrite association. Molybdenite mineral association was determined.

According to the data, M-1, M-2, and M-3 are associated with orthoclase and quartz with minor amounts of muscovite.

Quality Control and Quality Assurance

DLP Resources Peru S.A.C, a subsidiary of DLP Resources Inc., supervises drilling and carries out sampling of HTW, NTW and BTW core. Logging and sampling are completed at a secured Company facility situated on the project site. Sample intervals are nominally 1m to 3m in length. Drill core for the metallurgical test work was quartered using a rotary diamond blade saw and samples were sealed on site before transportation to C. H. Plenge & CIA S.A. ("Plenge") in Lima by secure courier.

Plenge Laboratories in Lima Peru is an independent metallurgical test laboratory and had a program of QA/QC in place to ensure the quality of the test work was certified. The lock cycle rougher tails were submitted for re-assay at SGS del Peru SAC. Assay results between the two testing facilities were consistent. Flotation optimization tests using design of experiment included no less than four duplicate tests to obtain lack of fit and pure error estimates. A good reconciliation was found between the calculated head grades and the assay head grades. SGS have international OHSAS certifications 18001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001; in addition, SGS laboratories are accredited by INACAL under NTP ISO/IEC 17025:2017.

Composite samples M1, M2 and M3 were analyzed for 24 elements using a partial four-acid digestion and ICP-OES finish at Plenge.

DLP Resources is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of intervals reported for the three composites sent to Plenge for the metallurgical test work.

Aurora Project

Aurora Project is an advanced stage porphyry copper-molybdenum exploration project in the Province of Calca, SE Peru (Figure 1). The Aurora Project was previously permitted for drilling in 2015 but was never executed. Thirteen historical drillholes, drilled in 2001 and 2005 totaling 3,900m were drilled over an area of approximately 1000m by 800m, cut significant intervals of copper and molybdenum mineralization. From logging of the only three remaining holes DDA-01, DDA-3A and DDA-3 and data now available, it appears that only three of the thirteen holes tested the enriched copper zone and only one hole drilled deep enough to test the primary copper and molybdenum zone (see DLP Resources Inc. news release of May 18, 2021).

Salient historic drillhole data of the Aurora Project are:

  • 190m @ 0.57% Cu, 0.008% Mo in DDA-1 with a high-grade intercept of 20m @ 1.01% Cu related to a supergene enrichment zone of secondary chalcocite;

  • 142m @ 0.5% Cu, 0.004% Mo in DDA-3;

  • 71.7m @ 0.7% Cu, 0.007% Mo in DDA-3A (see historical Focus Ventures Ltd. news release July 11, 2012); and

  • One of the historical holes ABC-6 drilled on the edge of the system intersected 78m @ 0.45% Cu and 0.107% Mo (Figure 2).

A review of the historical drilling indicates that the majority of the thirteen holes were drilled in the leached and partially leached zones of the porphyry system. Ten of the thirteen holes never fully tested the oxide and secondary enrichment zone and/or the primary copper zone at depth encountered in DDA-01. Copper-molybdenum mineralization is hosted by quartz-feldspar porphyries intruded into slates-hornfels and pelitic sandstones belonging to the Ordovician (439 - 463 ma) Sandia Formation.
