Initiates Processing of Tahuehueto Ore to Recover Lead and Zinc Concentrates at the Atocha Toll Mill(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / July 31, 2017 - Telson Resources Inc. (\"Telson\" or the \"Company\") (TSX Venture - TSN.V) is pleased to announce that processing of Tahuehueto ore for mineral recovery at the Atocha toll mill is underway. It is planned to process the ore at 300 tonnes or more per day. \n\n \n \nTo date approximately 4,600 tonnes of ore has been delivered to the Atocha mill site and approximately 1,500 tonnes of this ore has been processed through the sulfide flotation mill circuit to recover metal concentrates. A further 900 tonnes have been mined and are stockpiled at the Tahuehueto mine site pending delivery to the Atocha mill.\n\n \n \nMining is continuing underground from the Level 10 ore shoot estimated to contain at least 50,000 tonnes. Telson intends to continue mining on a continuous basis to generate cash proceeds during the Tahuehueto mine construction phase.\n\n \n \nCommodities to be recovered are gold, silver, lead, zinc, within lead and zinc concentrates. The company is anticipating similar head grades and recoveries to those that were achieved during its industrial scale bulk sample test completed earlier this year as the ore is being mined from the same zone. Those previously achieved results from Feb 2017 are shown below. (Please see news release issued February 23, 2017). \n\n \n \nTesting on the February 2017 industrial scale bulk sample returned an average head grade of 9.5 g/t gold, 63.9 g/t silver, 3.54% lead and 6.24% zinc. Sulfide flotation processing produced,\n\n \n \n\n\n-201 dry tonnes of Pb concentrate with average grades of 124.4 g/t Au, 786.4 g/t Ag, 40.7% Pb and 24.7% Zn. \n\n\n\n-259 dry tonnes of Zn concentrate with average grades of 11.18g/t Au, 147.07g/t Ag, 5.55% Pb and 43.57% Zn\n\n\n\n \n \nAll the concentrates from the February 2017 industrial scale bulk sample were sold generating cash receipts of approximately USD $1.47 million.\n\n \n \nTelson Resources Inc. is a Canadian based resource development company advancing two gold, silver and base metal projects towards production over the coming months of 2017 and early 2018.
