BCGold Corp. Recovers Gold and Completes Bulk Sampling/Test Milling At Engineer Gold Mine
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 06, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- BCGold Corp. /quotes/zigman/419181 CA:BCG -10.00% (or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update for the recently completed bulk sampling and test milling component of a Phase I exploration program at the Company's Engineer Gold Mine, situated in northwestern British Columbia. Highlights of the Company's progress include the following:
-- Six composite bulk samples totalling 400 tonnes were successfully mined, transported and stockpiled at the mill staging area for processing. Five of the samples representing the Engineer Vein were mined from underground workings and extracted via the 5-Level portal. The sixth sample was mined by surface trenching the Double Decker Vein (previously reported August 16, 2011).
-- Wire gold in roscoelite and/or fine gold in quartz were observed in all six bulk samples, confirming the BCGold Corp. geology and mineralization model.
-- Refurbishment of the on-site gravity separation mill is complete and milling commenced on September 3rd. Approximately 300 tonnes of material was processed from the six bulk samples. Milling was completed October 1st.
-- Sampling was conducted at all stages of the crushing, grinding, Deister table, and tailings circuits to determine mining head grade as well as milling performance. Preliminary sub-sample assay results are expected by late October.
-- Continuous streams of fine (+/- coarse) gold were observed on the finishing table for three of the bulk samples. Intermittent gold was observed for the other three bulk samples. Images and video of the bulk sampling and test milling program can be viewed on the Company's web site under the Engineer Mine section (to view, click here).
-- Approximately 800 kg of table concentrate was collected from the mill's recovery circuit. Gold separated on the finishing table was collected for processing of gold-silver dore. The remaining concentrate is being shipped for metallurgy testing and will be monetized if warranted.
