Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - August 28, 2019 - Telson Mining Corporation (“Telson” or the “Company” (TSXV:TSN) (OTC:SOHFF) (Frankfurt:TSGN) (formerly SQ82)) is pleased to announce that significant recoveries have been achieved in the first week of processing Tahuehueto pre-production ore at the third party Atocha Toll Mill.
Up to August 25 inclusive, just over 2,100 tonnes of concentrate has been processed over a six-day period with average head grades of 5.32 g/t Au, 38.03 g/t Ag, 1.71% Pb, 3.20% Zn and 0.24% Cu.
“Management is delighted to report that Telson’s 11th Tahuehueto toll milling campaign is proceeding better than expected with just under half of the anticipated 5,000+ tonnes of ore processed to date. Average metal recoveries achieved in the first half of the campaign stand at 86.29% gold, 85.60% silver, 86.80% lead, 76.93% zinc and 84.21% copper. These recoveries are a significant improvement over previously processed toll mill campaigns” states Antonio Berlanga, CEO of Telson. “Furthermore, this processing has produced high quality, precious metal rich concentrates with the lead concentrate containing an average of 101 grams gold/tonne and 702 grams silver/tonne.
To date, the toll milling campaign has processed 2,166 tonnes of Tahuehueto ore producing;
- 82.9 tonnes of gold rich lead concentrate grading 101 grams gold/tonne (3.2 troy ounces), 702.44 grams silver/tonne (23 troy ounces), 38.8% lead and 5.29% copper
- 130.8 tonnes of zinc concentrate grading 40.82% zinc, 12.02 grams gold/tonne, 93.94 grams silver/tonne
Telson anticipates that it will process at least 5,000 tonnes of ore during this 11th campaign and intends to continue to deliver Tahuehueto ore to the Atocha Toll Mill throughout the rest of 2019 which should allow the Company to process at least one campaign of between 3,000 to 5,000 tonnes on a monthly basis until it has completed construction of its on-site 1,000 tonne per day mining facility.
