Knelson Gravity GradeTest (GGT)

The GGT is a derivative of the industry standard Gravity Recoverable Gold (GRG) test. This test utlilizes enhanced gravitational forces combined with patented Knelson technology to provide a comprehensive grade estimation for the given test sample. With this test, sample head grades can be precisely measured by alleviating the nugget effect associated with sub-sampling. Knelson's Gravity Grade Test is a great tool for those involved in resource estimation of gold where high confidence in reported results is desired.

Test Description

  • Sample is processed in its entirety
  • Free gold is recovered with high efficiency in a small concentrate mass and fire assayed to extinction to account for all gold recovered
  • Test tailings can be sub-sampled and assayed with confidence because any remaining gold is finely desseminated
  • Fire assay results from the two streams are combined in a metallurgical balance to provide overall sample grade

     Benefits
    • Improve confidence in reported results
    • Maximize gold resource value
    • Minimize nugget effect
    • Ability to analyze large samples
