El Capitan Releases Bench Scale Results
The El Capitan Board of Directors reports the following updates on the state of the Company:
Results of Bench Scale Test
Results show that sodium cyanide recoveries on non-magnetic, hematite-dominant fractions assaying 0.173 oz/t Au and 0.239 oz/t Au.
Results show that sodium thiosulfate recoveries on non-magnetic, hematite-dominant fractions assaying 0.157 oz/t Au and 0.197 oz/t Au.
Dr. Clyde Smith further stated that, “These results confirm that these El Capitan samples are of potential ore-grade in gold and that high percentage hydrometallurgical extraction results using industry-standard procedures on both head and non-magnetic fractions indicate excellent potential for profitable production of gold on El Capitan ores. In fact, extraction curves show that percentages of recovery are increasing at 72 hours indicating that even higher results could be expected. In addition, El Capitan samples have assayed significant platinum; hydrometallurgical leach extractions on platinum could possibly add to profitable production on El Capitan ores. (It should be noted that samples EC-10 and EC-11 may not be representative of the entire El Capitan drilled resource.) In addition, El Capitan ores have excellent potential for production of an economically viable iron ore.”
