Valterra Resource Corp. Provides Brazil Update, Grants Options
Vancouver, Dec. 21, 2020 - Valterra Resource Corp. ("Valterra") reports that it has granted incentive stock options to directors, officers and consultants to purchase an aggregate 4,550,000 common shares. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of five years and are subject to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. Update of the Livramento Gold Project, Brazil
The recently announced 5,000-tonne bulk-sampling/trial-processing program and the exploration-trenching program are progressing at the Livramento Gold Project (see NR-11-20, October 13, 2020). Data from the bulk-sampling program will evaluate grade and metallurgical features of known mineralization, while the exploration-trenching program will explore for new, near-surface gold-bearing material as potential mill feed.
The Livramento mill was fully refurbished over the past few weeks and now is running in accordance with manufacturer specifications. A second ball mill is on site and planned for installation at the mill in January to increase throughput at the mill, and additional digging and hauling equipment is being phased into the sampling program to increase efficiency in providing material to the mill for trial processing. A series of pushbacks to expose new material for bulk sampling has been completed in pits previously mined. Additional gold-bearing material was uncovered during the pushback, based on panning, and the significance of the newly uncovered material is being evaluated.
