GETT:CC - G.E.T.T. Gold Provides Details of Underground Trials with its Exclusive and Patented Thermal Fragmentation Mining Method and Ongoing R&D Programs
(TheNewswire)
Brossard (Quebec) – TheNewswire - July 9, 2024 - G.E.T.T Gold Inc.(“GETT” or the “Corporation”) (TSX-V: GETT) , is pleased to provide details of its most recentdemonstration of its thermal fragmentation mining method in anunderground operation located in the Abitibi region of Quebec. The objectives of the trail were to demonstrate theviability of the mining method in mineralized zones that are noteconomical with conventional mining methods currently employed at themine.
G.E.T.T set forth certain parameters such as: in-situtesting to attain certain hole diameters, validation of minerequirements, gas measurements, cavity measurements, pilot holedrilling and positioning. Most if not all the parameters were reachedand/or surpassed. The team was especially pleased with the thermalfragmentation which produced 220kg of material in seven minutes andenlarged the diameter of the hole to a minimum of 43cm.
G.E.T.T Gold is currently working in partnership withCoalia on an R&D program aimed at thoroughly interpreting thefragmentability of various rock samples. This program has notablyrevealed that two key factors influence fragmentation: the proportionof quartz and the presence of discontinuities in the rock.Understanding these principles of fragmentation allows G.E.T.T Gold tobetter target potential mineralogical zones and more accuratelyestimate the quality of thermal fragmentation.
Additionally, this collaborative research has involvedadvanced analytical techniques and field studies to assess themineralogical composition and structural features of the rock samples.By integrating geotechnical data with cutting-edge simulation models,G.E.T.T Gold and Coalia have been able to refine their predictivecapabilities, enhancing the precision of their exploration andextraction processes. This comprehensive approach not only optimizesthe efficiency of thermal fragmentation but also reduces operationalrisks and environmental impact. The insights gained from thispartnership are expected to drive significant advancements in G.E.T.TGold’s mining technologies and strategies.
G.E.T.T Gold has recently conducted numerous tests tobetter qualify and quantify thermal fragmentation. The primaryobjectives of these tests were to evaluate flame quality, improveequipment, and identify and quantify potential gases released duringfragmentation to take necessary actions to eliminate them.
These successful tests significantly enhanced thereliability and stability of the thermal lance and brought substantialimprovements to all equipment required for thermal fragmentation.These improvements have positively impacted both equipmentproductivity and health & safety standards.
To achieve these results, G.E.T.T Gold collaboratedwith experts in chemistry, simulation, combustion, gas detection, andgeology to deepen the understanding of the thermal fragmentationsystem. During the tests, G.E.T.T Gold used gas detectors fromIndustrial Scientific to continuously evaluate a variety of gases thatcould be produced during thermal fragmentation. The data and insightscollected have fostered a better understanding of the combustionprocess, enabling the team to take actions regarding the combustiongases produced.
In summary, these tests have not only improved theefficiency and safety of the thermal fragmentation process but havealso provided valuable data that will guide G.E.T.T Gold's futureresearch and development efforts, ensuring continued innovation andprogress in their mining technologies.
