The phase one metallurgical program determined that mineralization from AntaKori was amenable to Nuton's sulphide leaching technologies, while the phase two program is designed to expand on the results from phase one and refine the understanding regarding metallurgical recoveries for various styles of mineralization.
Sample Selection, Preparation, and Methodology
Samples were selected and composited from each of the main mineralization styles at the AntaKori project: high sulphidation, skarn and porphyry. A total of eight composite samples were taken totaling 1,448.7 kg (see The samples were shipped to SGS laboratories in
The remaining prepared samples will be shipped from SGS Lima to Nuton's test facilities for phase two test work, which will entail samples being placed in columns with a height of 1 m, each under different controlled Nuton operating conditions. The columns will be continuously monitored and it is expected that once samples are placed into columns, the full results will be available approximately one year later.

About Nuton
Nuton is an innovative venture that aims to help grow Rio Tinto's copper business. At the core of Nuton is a portfolio of proprietary copper leach related technologies and capability - a product of almost 30 years of research and development. Nuton offers the potential to economically unlock copper from primary sulfide resources worldwide through leaching, achieving market-leading recovery rates, contributing to an increase in copper production from copper bearing waste and tailings, and achieving higher copper recoveries on oxide and transitional material. One of the key differentiators of Nuton is the potential to produce the world's lowest impact copper while having at least one Net Positive impact at each of our deployment sites, across our five pillars: water, energy, land, materials and society.
