Telson Mining Corporation Reports Tahuehueto Underground Assays

2019-06-17 / @businesswire

 

Telson Mining Corporation (“Telson” or the “Company” (TSX-V, OTC Pink-SOHFF, Frankfurt-TSGN (formerly SQ82)) is pleased to once again report significant channel sample assay results from underground mine development at it’s Tahuehueto Project, a 1,000 tonne per day gold mine currently in construction development. Ongoing sampling during underground development continues to return results that verify the reserves and resources within the geological model and demonstrate the high quality of the gold mineralizing system at Tahuehueto.

The above assay intervals are the weighted average results from several samples across one channel sample line. Individual samples for each channel line can be viewed in the full table below

Gold Equivalent Calculation: - Metal prices used in US$ – Au $1,204, Ag $14.20, Cu $2.80/lb, Pb $0.91/lb, Zn $1.09/lb

Formulas: 1st calculate a metal factor: for base metals (gold price/31.1 g/Troy oz)/ (base metal price*2.2kg/lb*10) = Base Metal Factor. For Silver Metal Factor = gold price/silver price.

AuEq grade = Gold grade + (Ag grade/Ag Factor) + (Cu grade/Cu Factor) + (Pb grade/ Pb Factor)+ (Zn grade/Zn factor). Investors are cautioned that gold equivalent values fluctuate with metal prices, are in-situ and will not be fully recoverable due to mining dilution, metal recovery loss during processing and final selling terms.

All the above samples were submitted to SGS De Mexico. S.A. de C.V. independent laboratory located in Durango city Mexico. Assay methods utilized were GE_FAA313 and GE_ICP14B for gold and silver respectively with over-limits followed up with GO_FAG303, Multi-element GE_ICP14B for lead and zinc with over-limits assayed with GO_ICP90Q.

About Telson Mining Corporation
Telson Mining Corporation is a Canadian based mining company with two Mexican gold, silver and base metal mining projects. Effective May 15, 2018 Telson declared commercial production at its 100% owned Campo Morado Mine, which is currently producing zinc and lead concentrates with gold, silver and copper as by-products.

Telson's 100% owned Tahuehueto Project, located in north-western Durango State, Mexico is currently in construction development. Pre-production commenced at Tahuehueto in August 2017, currently mining at a rate averaging approximately 100 tonnes per day and shipping ore to a third-party toll mill for processing. Management has a targeted timeline at Tahuehueto to be producing with its own on-site mineral processing plant, with a designed capacity of at least 1,000 tonnes per day by the end of 2019.
