With low-cyanide consumption leaching, Paris at 0.43kg\/t and Observation at 0.165kg\/t, Paris achieves 96.79% and Observation reaches 99.7% gold recoveries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond its geological attraction, Paris gold project boasts proximity to infrastructure, sharing a thoroughfare with major gold, producers such as Gold Fields Limited, Northern Star, and Karora Resources optimising logistical aspects and its mining licences expediting a pathway to production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>More drilling<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>TOR is now devising a follow-up, shallow 4000m RC drill program to test ground around the known gold system at Observation.<\/p>\n<p>This is aimed at delivering a case for a modest but still rewarding shallow open pit development.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><span class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Torque Metals, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article does not constitute financial product advice.
