Telson Completes Collection of 2,000 Tonne Industry Scale Bulk Sample
VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA / TheNewswire / October 04, 2016 - Telson Resources Inc. (TSX Venture - TSN.V) ("Telson" or the "Company") announces that it completed the collection of its 2,000 tonne industrial scale bulk sample from the El Creston zone on its Tahuehueto Project during the last week of September 2016. The bulk sample is in the process of being shipped to the Andes Mill where processing is scheduled to commence within the next week in order to produce saleable lead and zinc concentrates. Based upon previous metallurgical testing conducted in 2010, (please see news release issued by the Company dated April 20, 2010) the Company anticipates the significant gold content contained within the mineralization of the bulk sample to report to and be recovered within, the lead concentrate.
During the collection of this large bulk sample the company has demonstrated that the selective mining method utilized for collection of the bulk sample and planned for future mining operations, is viable and has demonstrated that standard and reasonable underground mining costs are obtainable. Further, the bulk sample collection has verified the competency of the host rock, providing excellent ground support for safe mining operations.
Jose Antonio Berlanga, Telson's CEO stated "We are very satisfied with the ore quality obtained in the 2,000 tonne bulk sample based upon the Company's internal check assaying of head grades and are very excited to soon commence the projects first industrial scale flotation recovery tests at the Andes Mill to produce the projects first concentrate test sales."
During the collection of the bulk sample an independent member of the engineering firm Metal Mining Consultants Inc. attended the project site to verify the bulk sample collection procedures and collected a number of head grade and loader bucket samples of material from the bulk sample for check assays. The Company will disclose results of these samples when available.
Metal Mining Consultants Inc. is a full-service independent mining engineering firm, specializing in all aspects of exploration, mine development, and mine operations and is in the final stages of preparing a Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") for a 500 tonne per day underground mining operation on the Tahuehueto Project. Telson hopes to deliver the results of this PFS during October 2016.
