North Bay Resources Announces Gold Concentrate Shipment, Advancement of Flotation Circuit at Bishop Gold Mill California

North Bay Resources Announces Gold Concentrate Shipment, Advancement of Flotation Circuit at Bishop Gold Mill California

North Bay Resources, Inc. (the " Company " or " North Bay ") (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce delivery of 344 lbs. of gold concentrate to the Company's refinery partner Just Refiners, Reno, NV. Assay splits have been sent to ALS Geochemistry Reno, Nevada. Ore from the Company's Fran Gold Project was processed at the Company's Bishop Gold Mill. The concentrate represents approximately 15 tons of gross ore processed. Recent repairs to the Company's RakerClassifier and replacement of balls in the ball mill have been implemented to produce a finer grind targeting minus 150 mesh. This grind has been determined to be optimal for recovery. The concentrate is from the gravity only circuit with the flotation circuit currently under optimization and testing ( See Pic 1) . The Company recently received settlement on its first concentrate shipment ( see Press Release dated April 7, 2025 ),

Flotation Circuit

The Company is testing and optimizing the flotation circuit at the Bishop Gold Mill. The testing of the Clarkson-Feeders for titration of the 5 reagents utilized in the flotation process has been completed.

The staged implementation of the final order of reagents, conditioning and residence time is being determined based on prior metallurgy work and existing equipment. The flotation chemistry utilizes a conditioner, gold promoter, sulphide promoter, activator, and frother. Determination is now underway to identify whether performance will be improved through staged addition of conditioner, gold and sulphides promoters followed by activator and frother or whether reagents will be combined in the single existing conditioning tank. Prior design utilized the ball mill and classifier as entry points for the initial 3 reagents, followed by activator and frother in the conditioning tank. The Company has added a centrifuge, for gravity primary design. This eliminates the possibility of treating the ore in the crushing circuit and reagents now must be added post-gravity recovery in the conditioning tank. A determination is being made to mix all reagents in a single step or adding a second conditioning tank for two phase reagent mixing either collectors and then activator/frother or two dosage mixing of all reagents. A final determination is expected shortly regarding the use of single or double conditioning tanks, with full-scale implementation of the flotation circuit to follow. All mechanical components are working and post-processing equipment including leaf-press and propane fired concentrate drying circuit are operational as well. Previous metallurgy work has determined a 97% recovery may be achieved with a combined gravity and flotation circuit with Fran Gold ore (see Press Release dated December 16, 2024 ).

Fran Gold Project

Data re-compilation of the 104 drill holes from Fran Gold continues. This now includes implementation of Leapfrog 3D modelling and resource estimate software, inclusive of pit-shell design for purpose of producing a resource estimate. The recent discovery of a bulk tonnage gold deposit at Fran ( see Press Release dated April 7, 2025 ) including 149m (488 ft.) of 0.9 grams per tonne has resulted in high priority focus on the re-evaluation of the Fran deposit.

Past exploration and development at Fran Gold, including over 18,000m (55,000ft.) of diamond drilling, has shown large intercepts of mixed vein and disseminated gold. The deposit area has been identified to be in excess of 1000m x 100m x 300m within a known strike length of 1700m. The Fran Gold Project is next to Centerra Gold's Mt. Milligan Project, with Reserves of 264Mt grading 0.3 gram per tonne gold and 0.2% copper and proximate to Artemis Gold's Blackwater Mine, with Proven and Probable Reserves of 334Mt grading 0.8 grams per tonne gold. Both Mt. Milligan and the Blackwater Mine are two of the largest new copper/gold and gold mines respectively, in North America.

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. Notes Unusual Trading Activity and the Development of its New Website

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: WLR, “Walker Lane”) announces that there has been unusual trading activity of its common shares that appeared to initiate on March 27, 2025 and appears to have occurred on each subsequent TSX-V trading day to current day. The recent stock trading activity does not reflect the health of our business or the recent significant value added assets to the property portfolio and adds to the previous undervaluation of the assets that were noted in a research report completed by Fundamental Research Corporation (see CMC Metals Ltd. press release - January 15, 2025). Management considers that some recent market transactions of its common shares could be an organized type of short selling tactic as we cannot determine any other explanation for the unusual downside trading activity.

North Bay Resources Announces Discovery of Mass Tonnage Gold Deposit up to 149m  Grading 0.95 g/t Au, Fran Gold Project, British Columbia

North Bay Resources Announces Discovery of Mass Tonnage Gold Deposit up to 149m Grading 0.95 g/t Au, Fran Gold Project, British Columbia

North Bay Resources, Inc. (the " Company " or " North Bay ") (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce analyses and compilation of prior exploration work at the Fran Gold Project has resulted in the discovery of a mass tonnage gold deposit. This includes review of diamond drilling in 2001, 2005, 2006, 2012, and 2018 as well as geochemical, geophysical and 3D modelling data. Past exploration and development, including over 18,000m (55,000ft.) of diamond drilling, has shown very large intercepts of up to 149m (489 feet) of 0.95 gram per ton gold. The deposit area has been identified to be in excess of 1000m x 100m x 300m within a known strike length of 1700m. This represents an exploration potential of 79,500,000 tonnes at a specific gravity of 2.65. At an average grade of 0.8 grams per tonne the current potential is 2M ounces. There is sufficient data to immediately proceed with a NI 43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate . The Fran Gold Project is next to Centerra Gold's (TSX:CG) Mt. Milligan Project, with Reserves of 264Mt grading 0.3 gram per tonne gold and 0.2% copper and proximate to Artemis Gold's (TSXV:ARTG) Blackwater Mine, with Proven and Probable Reserves of 334Mt grading 0.8 grams per tonne gold. Both Mt. Milligan and the Blackwater Mine are two of the largest new mines in North America in the modern era. The Blackwater Mine has a Measured and Indicated Resource in excess of 10M ounces of gold.

Germany, Italy Face Pressure to Repatriate US$245 Billion in Gold as Trust in US Custody Wavers

Germany and Italy are facing mounting domestic pressure to repatriate more than a third of their gold reserves — worth an estimated US$245 billion — currently held in New York by the US Federal Reserve.

Germany and Italy hold the world’s second and third largest gold reserves, trailing only the US. A substantial portion of this metal is stored overseas, primarily in Manhattan’s Federal Reserve Bank.

This longstanding arrangement, based largely on postwar financial realities and New York’s role as a major global gold-trading hub, is now being questioned by officials and commentators across Europe’s political spectrum.

LaFleur Minerals Targets 2026 Production with Funded Drilling and Mill Restart Planning Underway

LaFleur Minerals (CSE:LFLR,OTCQB:LFLRF,FWB:3WK0) CEO Paul Ténière has outlined his company’s plans to complete at least 5,000 meters of diamond drilling at the Swanson gold project while planning for the restart of its 100 percent owned Beacon gold mill in Val-d'Or, Québec.

“We had the idea of looking at the Swanson project, in general, more on a district scale. And so as a result of all the work we've done, including recent IP surveys, we've generated several drilling targets,” Ténière said.

One of the goals of the drill program is to increase the resource, he added.
