Telson Resources Inc. Restarts Operations for Production at Campo Morado

Telson Resources Inc. (” Telson ” or the ” Company “) (TSXV:TSN) is pleased to inform shareholders that ore processing at an initial mill throughput start up rate of approximately 1,400 tonnes per day has been initiated at the Company’s 100% owned Campo Morado Mine.
The first two years of production are planned to be mined from the G9 and El Largo ore bodies in areas of elevated gold and silver values within polymetallic base metal zones having average grades of 1.8 g gold/t, 142.7 g silver/t, 3.99% zinc, 0.62% copper and 1.07% lead.
Telson’s metallurgists’ have conducted numerous metallurgical testing at the mine site laboratory from ore targeted for mining in the initial months of production. Testing has determined that by initially removing carbon organic matter contained within the ore as the first step plus, the addition of new types of reagents to the flotation process, recoveries could potentially be improved. To that end, an initial carbon flotation circuit and new reagents have been added to the Campo Morado processing plant circuit now in operation.
Telson also intends to add additional flotation cells to the overall circuit over the next several months to potentially further increase recoveries of all metals. Telson points out that that there are no guarantees any of these modifications to the processing circuit will prove successful and cannot be assured that recoveries will be increased above previous historical recoveries.
Telson plans to increase the mine’s production rate toward the mill’s current capacity of 2,500 tonnes per day over the next six to twelve months.
Over the past month the Company has been mining underground and has delivered approximately 29,500 tonnes of the coarse ore to the mill site crushing patio and to date has accumulated a crushed ore stockpile of at least 9,000 tonnes.
“After almost three years of inactivity at Campo Morado while the mine was shut down in care and maintenance, our recently re-hired mining team of technical professionals and employees have been diligently cleaning, servicing, repairing where necessary and rehabilitating underground access to the planned mining areas and their excellent work has allowed Telson to restart mining and milling operations for production at this exciting mine in less than four months from its acquisition.” states Antonio Berlanga, Telson’s CEO. “With Campo Morado back in production, we can now bring long term economic benefit to over 250 current employees and their families, the local communities within the area as well as municipal, state and the federal governments of Mexico.”
