VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jul 7, 2009 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- ENCORE RENAISSANCE RESOURCES CORP. (EZ)(FRANKFURT:OUH1)(PINK SHEETS:ERRCF) Encore Renaissance Resources Corp. ("the Company") announces that the Company has been active in getting the Bonaparte gold property into test mining mode and has taken two 40 + kilogram samples from the veins for advance process testing at operating mill system and for a gravity separation test.
The testing by the mill is to determine if any additional processing or "tweaking" of the processing will be necessary to ensure full recovery of the estimated 20+ grams per tonne gold that is expected to be in the test bulk sample. The gravity separation test is being done to see if an intermediate processing step in a full scale operation is warranted.
Both tests will be completed in about a month's time which is anticipated to be around the time when the first portions of the bulk sample will be ready for processing. Mining equipment is in final preparation to comply with all regulatory requirements and will be moved on site to prepare the portal for the decline.
As well company geologists will be onsite to sample other veins in anticipation of selecting drill sites for the exploration drill program.
Encore has the right to earn a 60% interest in the Bonaparte Gold Mine property by conducting the bulk sample and the proposed drill program, which will enable the Company to delineate the mineralization on the property.
