(TSXV: BHS) (OTCQB: BHSIF) (FSE: 7KXN) (the \"Company\" or \"Bayhorse\") announces that the Company's mining and mill teams have completed the new upgraded mill facility, Payette, Idaho, that is now ready for operations in slightly more than 90 days from the issuance of the building permit to house the facility.During this period, a substantial amount of silver mineralized material from the Bayhorse Silver Mine, in nearby Oregon, has been processed through the Company's Steinert Ore-Sorter. This material has been extracted during the Mine drilling, exploration, and safety programs, to ensure the development drifts are safe for mining.The Company is focusing on two contact zones, the southern Big Dog contact zone, and the northern node Goldilocks/Legend contact zone, where grades of 844 g/t (24.65 oz/t). were reported most recently in a drill intercept over 12 feet in the Company's news release, BHS2021-19.The \"ore-sorted\" mineralized material along with fines of mineralized material (under 8mm, which is the lower limit of the Ore-Sorter) are currently being transported to the newly upgraded Mill facility.Both the Mine and Mill are designed to have a minimal environmental footprint through the use of Ore-Sorting.The operation has an additional grinding Mill, providing a grind and regrind capacity to ensure an 80 micron grind size. This system was developed during testing during 2017-2020 at Metsolve Metallurgical Laboratories of Langley, BC, Canada, in order to achieve maximum recovery of mineralization.In addition, the Company has added three stages of dewatering and fines recovery, as well as a precipitation circuit to enable the tailings to be recycled into eco-blocks, and to reduce dissolved contaminants to comply with the Idaho DEQ minimum requirements for waste water disposal. Upgrading the Mill facility to the current 50-60 ton/day capacity, that equates to an Ore-Sorted mining rate of up to 200 tons per day, enables the Company to fulfill the silver Offtake Agreement with Ocean Partners UK Limited (\"Ocean\") for delivery of the first 300 tonnes of silver concentrate.Bayhorse CEO, Graeme O'Neill comments, \"When we acquired...
