Fury Gold Mines Launches 3-Month Metallurgical Testwork at 100% Owned Eau Claire Project
Fury Gold Mines has engaged SGS Canada to conduct a metallurgical testwork program at its 100% held Eau Claire gold project in Quebec, targeting comminution parameters, grind size optimization and beneficiation flowsheets to maximize gold recovery. Results will support feasibility-level design, mill build or toll milling options and environmental compliance.
1. Program Launch and Scope
Fury Gold Mines has initiated a metallurgical testwork program with SGS Canada at its 100% owned Eau Claire gold project in Quebec. The three-month study will build on preliminary testwork from the 2025 PEA, aiming to validate ore characteristics and process performance.
2. Testing Objectives
The program will determine comminution parameters including grinding work index, evaluate optimal grind size, and assess gravity, flotation and leaching beneficiation flowsheets to maximize gold recovery. It will also characterize tailings behavior, investigate solid-liquid separation, rheology and paste backfill suitability, and confirm environmental compliance criteria.
3. Support for Feasibility and Development
Data generated will underpin feasibility-level process design, enabling complete mass and water balances, equipment sizing and flowsheet development. Results will inform decisions on building a dedicated mill versus toll milling, optimize project economics and advance Eau Claire towards production readiness.
