Preliminary Metallurgical Testwork Yields Excellent Results from Cote Lake
Deposit
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 14, 2011) - Trelawney Mining and
Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or "Trelawney") (TSX
VENTURE:TRR)(FRANKFURT:RTW) is pleased to announce positive results for the
preliminary initial scoping level metallurgical testwork on its Cote Lake
Deposit in northeastern Ontario. This testwork was completed by SGS Canada
Inc. Mineral Services in Lakefield, Ontario.
Testwork was completed on two 40-kilogram composite samples of drill core from
the Cote Lake Deposit. Composite sample 1 consisted of the copper-enhanced
mineralization from the hydrothermal breccia and composite sample 2 consisted
of the gold-only mineralization from the intrusive breccias.
Composite 1 (copper-enhanced) returned (gravity and cyanidation) recoveries
ranging from 85.6 to 94.9% for various feed sizes, with 21.6 % of the gold in
this sample captured by gravity circuit. A flotation test of this sample
returned a 98.7% recovery for copper.
Composite 2 (gold-only) returned excellent overall recoveries ranging from
94.3 to 97.8%, by combined gravity and cyanidation, with 51.3% of the gold
recovered by the gravity circuit.
Preliminary tables are attached below and final data will be available in
several weeks. Further metallurgical and comminution testwork is ongoing and
additional deposit samples will be submitted as the project moves toward
preliminary economic studies.
Greg Gibson, Trelawney's President and CEO commented, "We are very satisfied
with the results of this preliminary metallurgical work which indicate that
excellent gold recoveries can be achieved by conventional processing methods.
Recoveries of this magnitude in bulk tonnage gold deposits are very favourable
for future project development."
