Pilot Gold's Dunderberg Shale May be Amenable to Concentrate Production

Pilot Gold Inc. (TSX:PLG) announced further metallurgical results from the upper gold host at its Nevada-based Kinsley Mountain project. Work there was aimed at testing whether the gold mineralization hosted by the Dunderberg (Candland) shale is amenable to producing a saleable concentrate.
As quoted in the press release:

The Dunderberg Shale was the primary host rock in the historical mining operation, and is the shallow host rock at the Western Flank.  Previous concentrate testing of deeper Secret Canyon Shale-hosted gold mineralization produced up to 89.6% recovery and up to 312 g/t concentrate grade in metallurgical testing.
The test work, initiated in March 2015, used the same flowsheet developed for mineralization hosted in the Secret Canyon Shale.
Overall, these results indicate that the Dunderberg Shale material, like that from the Secret Canyon Shale, may be amenable to production of a concentrate.  The results may be improved with further study of primary and regrind sizes and flowsheet refinements particular to the Dunderberg shale.

Matt Lennox-King, president and CEO of Pilot Gold, commented:

These recent metallurgical test results demonstrate that, combined, Kinsley’s main host rocks can produce a high-grade concentrate with excellent gold recoveries and the potential of low capital cost options for possible mining and processing at Kinsley.
