Teras Significantly Increasing Silver Values on Its Cahuilla Project

02.05.2013  |  Marketwired

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/02/13 -- Teras Resources Inc.("Teras" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TRA) (OTCQX: TRARF) Teras recently completed a silver re-assay program using a four acid digestion technique instead of the original two acid digestion procedures used for drill samples obtained in 2011 and 2012 from the Cahuilla project in Imperial County, California. The four acid digestion re-assays were conducted by ALS Chemex Laboratories in Reno, Nevada on drill samples and the results indicate that by using this new procedure, the silver values are significantly higher than the original assays.


A variety of pulp samples from reverse circulation drill holes from the recent drilling program were analyzed. Samples were selected from a variety of different mineralogies and silver grades. The samples are within the known NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource used to calculate a silver resource. The four acid digestion procedure can more thoroughly measure silver contents and potentially result in a higher and more accurate assay when compared to the initial two acid digestion method.


A total of 47 samples were analyzed and selected from many different locations throughout the project site at various depths to obtain a broad range of silver values for comparative analyses. The original two digestion assays were conducted at three laboratories in Reno, Nevada including BSI Inspectorate, McClelland and ALS Chemex while the four acid digestion re-assays were completed at ASL Chemex. Results from the silver re-assay program as follows:



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four Acid Digestion Re- Percent Higher
Assays Than Original Two Acid Digestion
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspectorate McClelland ALS Chemex
------------------------------------------------
All Completed at ALS Chemex 33% 63% 27%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


The four acid digestion analyses for all three labs combined are 41% greater than the original two acid digestion assays, which could result in a substantial increase in our silver resource. Future NI 43-101 reports will include the four acid digestion assays in addition to any new drill results. Additional drill pulp samples are being collected for conducting further four acid digestion re-assays in order to better substantiate the percentage increase in silver values. In the future, all drill samples will be assayed utilizing the four acid digestion preparation methods.


Peter Leger, President and CEO of Teras Resources commented "We are very pleased with the potential substantial increase in our silver resource at Cahuilla. The four acid digestion technique increases our silver content significantly as well as provides us with more accurate precious metal values which will guide us in optimizing silver recoveries once Cahuilla is in operation. This is yet another positive leap forward for our Cahuilla project."

About Teras


The Company is focused on developing its Cahuilla project located in Imperial County, California. The project encompasses an area of at least 3 km by 1.5 km and demonstrates the potential for a large-scale, bulk mining operation consisting of altered and mineralized sedimentary and volcanic host rocks with numerous sheeted high-grade quartz veins. Teras filed a NI 43-101 compliant technical report with an indicated resource of 1 million plus ounces of gold and 11 million plus ounces of silver on its Cahuilla project (70.148 million tons at an average grade of 0.015 ounces per ton gold and 0.17 ounces per ton silver with a cut-off-grade of 0.008 ounces per ton gold). The Company has an aggressive plan to increase the resource and develop the project for future mining operations.
