Vancouver, British Columbia, July 29, 2020 – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is providing an update on metallurgical test results from our 100% owned Philadelphia property.
The Company submitted eight bulk samples from the recently completed reverse circulation drilling program to evaluate the potential for recovery of coarse gold by gravity separation and the amenability of gold not recovered by gravity methods to cyanidation.
The results are summarized in the table below and demonstrate that +27% to 65.5% of the gold in the drill cuttings is coarse and is recoverable by gravity methods, confirming the observations of visible gold in cuttings during drilling. The gravity tails were subject to cyanidation bottle roll tests, which demonstrate that the majority of the gold remaining in the gravity tails is recoverable by cyanidation. Total recoveries by gravity and cyanidation are consistently in the +98% to +99% range.
