U.S. Gold Corp. Enhances Recovery Efficiency with Jameson Cell Technology
U.S. Gold Corp. (Nasdaq: USAU) takes a significant step forward in mining efficiency by integrating Glencore Technology's Jameson Cell Flotation Equipment into its CK Gold Project. This decision, announced on August 21, 2025, stems from comprehensive engineering studies conducted during the company's Definitive Feasibility Study. CEO George Bee underscores the critical advantages of adopting this cutting-edge flotation technology, which promises not only to enhance metal recovery rates but also to reduce power consumption and minimize the physical footprint of the equipment. Such advancements are particularly important as U.S. Gold positions itself within the competitive landscape of domestic strategic metal production.
The integration of the Jameson Cell technology is expected to substantially improve the economic viability of the CK Gold Project. Initial tests on ore samples have demonstrated that the flotation technology can significantly increase gold and copper recovery rates compared to those projected in the February 2025 Prefeasibility Study. A trade-off analysis conducted by Halyard Micon International suggests that the introduction of Jameson Cells could elevate the project's Net Present Value (NPV) by approximately $36 million over its operational lifespan. This promising financial outlook, coupled with lower operational costs and reduced equipment requirements, reinforces U.S. Gold's commitment to maximizing resource efficiency and profitability.
Glencore Technology's partnership with U.S. Gold includes a limited performance guarantee, ensuring that the company receives ongoing support in the engineering and cost analysis for the Jameson Cells. Additionally, U.S. Gold has secured a commitment from Glencore to maintain pricing for previously procured, but unused, Jameson Cells through October 2025. This strategic collaboration not only aims to optimize the recovery processes at the CK Gold Project but also reflects U.S. Gold's proactive approach to embracing innovative technologies in the ever-evolving mining industry.
In related developments, U.S. Gold Corp.'s strategic focus on enhancing metal recovery aligns with broader industry trends emphasizing sustainability and efficiency. By leveraging advanced technologies like the Jameson Cell, the company positions itself to meet the growing demand for strategic metals in various applications. Furthermore, the successful integration of such technologies could serve as a model for other companies in the sector, potentially setting new benchmarks for operational excellence in mining.
