[{"type":"text","content":"Bayhorse Achieves 95% Silver Recoveries from Bayhorse Silver Mine Concentrates, Utilizing Mineral Solutions LLC Leaching and Refining ProcessVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2019) - Bayhorse Silver Inc., (TSXV: BHS) (\"Bayhorse\" or the \"Company\"), has received final results from the comprehensive metallurgical testing, setup, and processing/refining program conducted by Mineral Solutions LLC (\"Minerals\") of Coeur d Alene, Idaho, USA, on silver concentrates from its Bayhorse Silver Mine, Oregon, USA.This final exhaustive metallurgical testing was conducted to ensure that both Bayhorse concentration equipment, and the Minerals processing facility, are attuned for optimum processing/refining recovery of silver from the Bayhorse mineralization.Dr. Mike Irish of Minerals oversaw the final set up at the Bayhorse Silver Mine to ensure the Bayhorse silver concentrate met their parameters for leaching/refining using their wet chemical process for sulphide minerals processing. Minerals had already tested the Bayhorse highgrade mineralization, at 300 - 350 oz/ton Ag, (9,310 - 10,866 g/t) and compared the results to lower grade mined mineralization. Fresh mineralization in a lower grade section of the mine, in the range of 6 oz/ton to 20 oz/ton, (186.6 - 622 g/t) Ag was extracted from a new crosscut for this comparison.The silver mineralization, with a calculated head grade of 8.12 oz/t (252.5 g/t) Ag, was first processed through the ore-sorter. As determined using mass balance calculations, ore-sorter upgrading to 31.22 oz/t (971 g/t) Ag was achieved, with rejects grading 0.6 oz/t (18.66 g/t) Ag.The subsequent gravity concentrate, assaying 209.8 oz/t Ag (6,525.5 g/t), was processed and refined by Minerals with 95% recovery, with the tails grading 3.22 oz/t (100.15g/t) Ag. With the final testing and equipment array set ups complete at both Minerals and the Bayhorse Silver Mine, the Company is proceeding with concentrating and shipping fresh sulphide concentrate to Minerals for processing and refining into .9999 fine silver.Dr Michael Irish and Miner Jon Farrell reviewing ball mill oversize materialTo view an enhanced version of this image please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/5015/44081_5b23905bc4a50bdd_004full.jpgBayhorse CEO Graeme O'Neill comments: \"We are very pleased with the excellent final m...
