Sabina Gold and Silver Reports Metallurgical Results from Back River

Sabina Gold and Silver (TSX:SBB) reported positive metallurgical optimization test results for its Back River project in Nunavut.
As quoted in the press release:

After release of the Back River Initial Project Feasibility Study in September of last year, Sabina has identified several metallurgical optimization opportunities that could have a positive economic impact on the Back River project. The two opportunities with the greatest potential impact are coarser grinding as part of the CIP circuit contemplated in the feasibility study, and revisiting flotation with the addition of regrinding concentrates to 50 micron before leaching.
Sabina has completed the initial scoping test work for the flotation and grinding of concentrates followed by leaching with very encouraging preliminary results.

Sabina president and CEO, Bruce McLeod, said:

These results are the first of many optimization studies underway on the Project. These test results continue to demonstrate the optionality of Back River. This work could not only positively impact the economics of the initial production scenario, but could also generate compelling alternatives for future satellite production, at George for example. We are very encouraged and look forward to continuing work on the flow sheet.
