Pilar Gold – Metallurgical Testing
Excellent Gold Recoveries
Highly Oxidized Material is Ideal for Heap Leach Gold Recovery
Hermosillo-based Laboratorio Technologico de Metalurgia LTM S.A. de C.V (LTM) Was Commissioned to Complete Three Preliminary Metallurgical Tests
Bottle Roll Test 1
- 7 Samples Taken at 5-7 metre Intervals Along a 35 Metre Long Section of the Largest Known Mineralized Structure in the Main Zone.
- Test 1 Head Assay: 1.5 g/t Au and 6.0 g/t Ag
- Test 1 Recovery in 72 Hours: 92.17% Gold and 28.66% Silver
Bottle Roll Tests 2 and 3
- 5 samples Taken From the Width of the Same Structure as Test 1, at 5 Metre Intervals, 60-100 Metres from Test 1.
- Test Was Run in Duplicate for Greater Accuracy
- Test 2 and Test 3 Head Assay: 0.79 g/t Au and 7.0 g/t Ag
- Test 2 Recovery in 72 Hours: 91.17% Gold and 16.12% Silver
- Test 3 Recovery in 72 Hours: 93.88% Gold and 12.09% Silver
Pilar Gold – Path Forward
Exploration Objectives
- Expand on Previous Drilling Success
- Drill for Continuity of Grade, Extension and Depth
- Drill Selected Exploration Targets Outside the Main Zone to south east where strong soil anomalies indicate additional higher grade mineralization
Technical Objectives
- Preliminary Economic Assessment
