Bayhorse Silver Inc. (TSXV:BHS) announced flotation assay results from two bulk samples from its Oregon-based Bayhorse mine silver property.
One sample weighs about 50 kilograms and is from a high-grade mineralized zone, while the other weighs around 220 kilograms and is from a low-grade waste stockpile.
As quoted in the press release:
A homogenous 2kg sample of the high grade material was subjected to flotation testing. Un-optimized, 9,887 g/t Ag (317 oz/t) or 82.8% of the contained silver was recovered, along with 10.71% Cu (84% of the contained Cu) 18.37% Zn (76.8% of contained Zinc) 3.06% Sb (88.2%of contained Antimony) and 3.27% Pb (52.8% of contained lead) was recovered. The high grade composite sample had a calculated head grade of 4,884 g/t (157 oz/t) Ag.
A homogenous 2kg sample of the low grade material was subjected to flotation testing and, un-optimized, 603 g/t Ag (19.4 oz/t) or 87.2% of the contained silver was recovered, along with 0.99% Cu (95.8% of the contained Cu) 3.5% Zn (87.5% of contained Zinc) 0.42% Sb (93.9% of contained Antimony) and 0.28% Pb (65.3% of contained lead) was recovered. The low grade composite sample had a calculated head grade of 164 g/t (5.28 oz/t) Ag.
Based upon the significant results reported above, along with the historic information, the Company has essentially confirmed the reported historic flotation recoveries in excess of 80% silver, and with optimization, the Company believes up to 90% silver recovery may be achieved.
