Gold Reach Reported Positive Metallurgical Results From The Ox Deposit
VANCOUVER, BC - Gold Reach Resources Ltd. reported results of metallurgical testing from the Ox Deposit located on the company’s 100% owned Ootsa Property, located adjacent to the producing Huckleberry copper Mine south of Smithers, British Columbia. Optimized Rougher Flotation Recoveries Optimized rougher floatation concentrates from the Ox deposit have returned recoveries of 94.1 and 94.5% for copper and 91.7 and 93.1% for molybdenum. Two copper concentrates based on 4 cleaner stages were produced, the first grading 24.5% copper, 4.0 g/t gold, and 107.1 g/t silver and the second grading 23.6% copper, 3.3 g/t gold, and 97.7 g/t silver. A molybdenum concentrate based on 2 cleaner stages graded 51.6% molybdenum along with 113 ppm rhenium.
Metallurgical Studies Metallurgical testing was performed by Inspectorate Exploration and Mining Services Ltd. located in Richmond British Columbia, and initial testing was done on a single 323 kg composite sample of representative mineralization from the Ox deposit obtained from 2013 drill core. The primary objectives of the testing were to determine the optimal flotation conditions for the Ox deposit material and to produce high-grade copper and moly concentrates with acceptable recoveries of gold and silver.
