[{"type":"text","content":"\n BISHOP, Calif., Sept. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North Bay Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “North Bay”) (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce the arrival of its first gold ore shipment from the Company’s Fran Gold Project and commencement of test milling operations. Starting today the Company will begin testing and optimization of milling for extraction of gold from ore. The first phase will involve testing of the jaw crusher to reduce the ore to minus ½” for feed into the ball mill for further reduction to minus 150 mesh and then moved as a slurry to the gravity separation table for extraction of free gold and other valuable metals. This will then be followed by optimization and testing of the flotation cells and reagent formulation with a final phase of further upgrading the flotation concentrate by use of a 2nd gravity table and report to tailings. The free gold and, as applicable, precious metal concentrate will be melted in the on-site furnace for production of Dore bars or similar high-grade instruments for bank vault storage or shipment to the gold refinery in Reno, Nevada. The initial shipment consisted of 22 tons of surface material loaded into one metric tonne (2200 lbs.) super-sacks and placed on flat-bed tractor trailers. The target material was recently assayed and graded 1.2 to 2.3 ounces gold per ton (see Press Release dated August 26, 2024).   The Company has identified approximately 5000 tons of target material for immediate shipment and a substantially larger amount of near surface material in trenches and defined by prior diamond drilling.
