    How Investors Are Reacting To NGEx Minerals Stock After Strong Metallurgical Results

    Listen to the news
    • NGEx Minerals released initial metallurgical results from its 100%-owned Lunahuasi Project in Argentina, showing copper recoveries of 92.0% to 94.2% with clean concentrates grading 23.4% to 39.4% copper and gold recoveries of 61.1% to 87.1% across three key zones.
    • The testwork also reported effective arsenic removal using GlassLockTM with no loss of copper, gold or silver and explored options for on site cathode copper and doré production, which relates directly to potential processing flexibility and future marketing options for Lunahuasi material.
