[{"type":"text","content":"CANEX Reports Cyanide Soluble Gold Recoveries of 94 to 99% from Bottle Roll Tests at Gold Range, Arizona Drill Rig MobilizingCALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / September 8, 2021 / CANEX Metals Inc. (TSXV:CANX) (\"CANEX\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce exceptional cyanide soluble gold recoveries from bottle roll test work on mineralized samples from the Gold Range Project, Arizona.HighlightsMetallurgical test work on 8 bottle roll samples from the Gold Range Project achieved final cyanide soluble gold recoveries ranging from 94 to 99%, averaging 97%.The test work showed rapid leach kinetics with the majority of gold extracted within the first 6 hours, and maximum extraction almost complete within 24 hours.Sodium cyanide and lime consumption are well within acceptable levels and the overall results indicate Gold Range gold mineralization is well suited for heap leach recovery.A drill rig is being mobilized to the project and drilling should commence shortly.Dr. Shane Ebert, President of the Company stated, \"The bottle roll samples were mainly taken from the Eldorado and Excelsior Zones and represent a range of gold grades from varying depths in the system. We are very encouraged to see exceptional recoveries from throughout the mineralized zone, demonstrating the system could be amenable to heap leach processing and significantly de-risking the bulk tonnage heap-leach exploration concept at Gold Range.\"Bottle Roll Test WorkEight samples of mineralized reverse circulation drill cuttings from the Gold Range Project were submitted to SGS Laboratories in Burnaby British Columbia for bottle roll testing to better understand the cyanide soluble gold recovery and leach characteristics of the Gold Range mineralization. Four of the samples were from the Eldorado zone, three samples were from the Excelsior zone, and one sample was from the Contact Zone located between Eldorado and Excelsior. The samples represent low grade gold mineralization (0.2 g/t gold), intermediate grade mineralization (0.5 to 0.8 g/t gold), and higher-grade zones (2 to 3.4 g/t gold) and were from a range of depths from 7 to 64 metres down hole.Each sample was air-dried then crushed to 100% passing 10 mesh. A 1 kg charge from each sample was subject to standard leach conditions (cyanide concentration of 0.5 g/L NaCN with 48 hour retention time) and assayed at 0,...
