CB Gold Inc. Announces Commencement of Further Metallurgical Testwork for Its Vetas Gold Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 10, 2014) - CB Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CBJ) ("CB Gold" or the "Company") announces the commencement of further metallurgical testwork on material from the Company's Vetas Gold project.
The scope of this testwork consists of sample preparation by crushing and grinding, heads assay, gravity separation and flotation of gravity tails in order to evaluate the response of an additional 40 drill core samples taken from different locations around the property to an optimized gravity-flotation flow sheet. The testwork is being undertaken by Inspectorate Exploration & Mining Services Ltd ("IEMS") at their Metallurgical Division laboratories in Richmond, BC.
The Company released the results of the preliminary metallurgical testwork on August 19, 2013.
These preliminary results indicate:
| • Strong recoveries of 94.0%+ for traditional gravity concentration and cyanide leach; |
| • Combined gravity / flotation concentrate recoveries of up to 96.1%; |
| • These recoveries for both processes occurred at relatively coarse grind sizes of P80 150 to 100 microns; |
| • Maximum cyanide leach recoveries occurred in just over 24 hours residence; and |
| • Excellent recoveries in the gravity circuit of up to 84%. |
The preliminary testwork was undertaken by IEMS. Samples selected from the drill core at the Vetas Gold Project totalling 172kg were sent to IEMS, and three composite samples representing the main mineralization types were prepared:
| Composite 1 | El Dorado Vein System | 3.77 g/t Au |
| Composite 2 | Real Minera Oxide Zone | 2.22 g/t Au |
| Composite 3 | Real Minera Primary Sulphide Zone | 6.20 g/t Au |
The composites were ground to three sizes - P80 passing 150, 100 and 75 microns and the testwork included gravity concentration, cyanide leaching of the gravity circuit tailings, and sulphide flotation of the gravity tailings.
