Plenge Lab Supports Cerro Maricunga Project with Metallurgical Testing

The Cerro Maricunga Project, developed by Atacama Pacific, relies on extensive metallurgical testing to optimize its gold recovery processes. Plenge Lab played a significant role in this by conducting detailed tests to assess the efficiency of heap leaching as the primary recovery method.

Plenge’s tests demonstrated a gold recovery rate of approximately 79% across various ore types from the project, validating the economic viability of heap leach operations. The lab’s tailored approach, utilizing both column leach and bottle roll tests, ensured reliable data, providing Atacama Pacific with the necessary insights to advance their operations efficiently.
