Corvus Gold Inc. (TSX:KOR,OTCQX:CORVF) announced results from a series of column leach tests on large diameter core sample composites from the North Bullfrog Project, Nevada.

As quoted in the press release:

The final results averaged 82% gold recovery at a crush size of nominally 80% passing 19mm (-3/4 inch), which is 4% greater than the 78% gold recovery assumed in the December 6, 2012 Preliminary Economic Assessment. The final recovery data (Table 1) shows the high gold leachability of the Savage Valley oxide material even at grades as low as 0.11 g/t.

Corvus’s COO, Carl Brechtel , said:

The ongoing North Bullfrog Project gold recovery results continue to be very encouraging and offer significant upside for this attractive new Nevada mining project. These results will be integrated with further column tests at larger crush size to help optimize cost versus recovery.
