(\"Telson\" or the \"Company\") (TSX Venture - TSN.V) is pleased to inform shareholders that ore processing at an initial mill throughput start up rate of approximately 1,400 tonnes per day has been initiated at the Company's 100% owned Campo Morado Mine.\n\n\n \nThe first two years of production are planned to be mined from the G9 and El Largo ore bodies in areas of elevated gold and silver values within polymetallic base metal zones having average grades of 1.8 g gold/t, 142.7 g silver/t, 3.99% zinc, 0.62% copper and 1.07% lead. \n\n\n \nTelson's metallurgists' have conducted numerous metallurgical testing at the mine site laboratory from ore targeted for mining in the initial months of production. Testing has determined that by initially removing carbon organic matter contained within the ore as the first step plus, the addition of new types of reagents to the flotation process, recoveries could potentially be improved. To that end, an initial carbon flotation circuit and new reagents have been added to the Campo Morado processing plant circuit now in operation. \n\n \n \nTelson also intends to add additional flotation cells to the overall circuit over the next several months to potentially further increase recoveries of all metals. Telson points out that that there are no guarantees any of these modifications to the processing circuit will prove successful and cannot be assured that recoveries will be increased above previous historical recoveries.\n\n \n \nTelson plans to increase the mine's production rate toward the mill's current capacity of 2,500 tonnes per day over the next six to twelve months. \n\n \n \nOver the past month the Company has been mining underground and has delivered approximately 29,500 tonnes of the coarse ore to the mill site crushing patio and to date has accumulated a crushed ore stockpi...
