Goldsource Announces High Metallurgical Test Recoveries at Eagle Mountain
DGAP-News: Goldsource Mines Inc. / Key word(s): Miscellaneous Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 17, 2018) – Goldsource Mines Inc. (TSXV: GXS) (OTCBB: GXSFF) (FSE: G5M) (“Goldsource” or the “Company”) announces positive metallurgical test results on its ongoing saprolite expansion program, at its 100%-owned Eagle Mountain Gold Project (“Eagle Mountain”) in Guyana, South America. In addition to ongoing drilling and trenching at Eagle Mountain, the Company is progressing on metallurgical test work including grinding cost-benefit analysis studies. The metallurgical test procedure used is a combination of gravity concentration and cyanidation. At a grind size of 80% passing 100 microns, the initial test results from the master composite sample show a gold recovery of approximately 97.3%, including 22% of the gold reporting to a gravity concentrate containing approximately 5,800 gpt gold. Average cyanide consumption from testing is 0.73 kgpt, with a retention time of 48 hours. The ongoing test program will further optimize grind size, recovery and reagent consumptions to improve gold extraction. The test results will be used for the PFS, currently in progress by Tetra Tech. The Company continues with its Eagle Mountain drilling campaign to expand the known near-surface saprolite gold resource and infill existing resources to allow for re-categorization from the Inferred category to the Indicated category for the PFS. The Company believes these objectives should support a large-scale low strip open pit gravity-cyanidation operation at Eagle Mountain. In early April 2018, the Company commenced an initial exploration program at the newly optioned Bishop Growler property, which included the testing of several other targets adjacent to the Eagle Mountain deposit. The Company is currently compiling drilling and trenching data of these new targets and anticipates to release these results within the next 10 days.
