Excalibur: Catanava Update
Excalibur Resources Ltd. provides an update on theprogress at its 49% (60% pending completion of deal with MineraApolo) owned subsidiary Minera Catanava de C.V. The concentratetesting work, including assay results from a commercial lab, hasshown that we can produce a very good grade concentrate of between300 and 500 grams of gold per ton and around 1 to 2 kilograms silverper ton. Two samples of 400 grams of concentrates were sent for fireanalysis and plasma induction of 33 elements which were assayed atERSA Global Labs of Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico. The silver, as well asthe gold recuperation, will increase when flotation cells areinstalled which is planned for later this year. “Given theanticipated amount and logistics of producing concentrates, it ispreferable to pour dore, so a large tilt and pour dore furnace hasbeen ordered,” commented, Dr. Don McLeroy.
