High-grade sampling planned for 3 Aces

 

Last updated 6/28/2015 at Noon



Golden Predator Mining Corp. June 22 said it has received the necessary permit to continue exploration and conduct bulk sampling at the 3 Aces high-grade gold project in western Yukon Territory.

The bulk sample program is designed to acquire up to 2,000 cubic meters of gold bearing quartz vein material from the Sleeping Giant zone.

The material will be processed at an off-site to further advance the understanding of the distribution of the coarse gold particles and provide additional baseline data that could be used in designing a process flow sheet for this type of material.

The bulk sample program is a follow-up to the Sleeping Giant zone's 2013-2014 large volume sampling and metallurgical testing program where threes samples ranging from roughly 600 to 800 kilograms returned gold recoveries by gravity alone of 74.6 to 88.5 percent and total gold recoveries after leaching of the tails of 93.5 to 98.3 percent.


The initial bulk sample of 2015 will expand on sample BS-3A13-03 which contained in more than 5.8 ounces per metric ton gold.
