[{"type":"text","content":"Minnova Corp. Announces up to 18.89 g/t Gold from Selected Samples of Historic Underground Mine Stockpiles at the La Esperanza Property in PeruToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2019) - Minnova Corp. (TSXV: MCI) (\"Minnova\" or the \"Company\") is please to announce high grade gold assays from historical underground mine stockpiles from the Poderosa Vein on its La Esperanza discovery-stage project in Peru.During a recent site visit to prepare for a fall exploration and bulk sampling program on the La Esperanza vein our technical team re-visited the mine adit accessing the Poderosa vein to evaluate underground mine conditions. During the site visit two historic mine stockpiles located at the opening of the Poderosa vein mine adit were sampled. Both stockpiles exhibited visible sulphide mineralization and quartz veining/silicification typically associated with gold mineralization previously reported on the La Esperanza property. In addition, a wooden chute used to dump mined material into trucks for transport to nearby mills was noted to contain a significant volume of historical mined material from the Poderosa vein and this was also sampled. In total approximately 300 kilograms from the two stockpiles and the wooden chute were sampled to provide reference samples prior to sending the stockpile's and mine chute material to a toll mill as part of a bulk sample program.
