(\"Novo\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: NVO; OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to announce metallurgical test results from its 100% controlled Beatons Creek gold project, Western Australia. \n\n \n \nIn December, Novo collected a composite sample of tailings originating from recently processed bulk sample material that was treated through the company's IGR3000 gravity test plant late last year. This sample was submitted to ALS Metallurgy, Perth for cyanidation studies. Six tests were run on 1 kg splits at various grind sizes and NaCN concentrations (please refer to the table below).\n\n \n \nCalculated head grades range from 1.85 to 3.28 gpt Au and average 2.16 gpt Au. Recoveries are very high, exceeding 98%, apparently irrespective of the various grind sizes that were tested up to 80% passing a 212 micron (0.212 mm) mesh screen. Leach times are very short, all samples exceeding 97% recovery within just 12 hours. Recoveries exceed 98% irrespective of NaCN concentration, the lowest concentration being 0.5 kg/tonne. Lime consumption is low, ranging from 0.87 to 1.51 kg/tonne, and NaCN consumption is very low, ranging from 0.15 to 0.40 kg/tonne.\n\n \n\nCyanidation Tests from Beatons Creek Bulk Sample Composited Tailings\n\n\n\n\nTest No.\n\n\n \n\n\nGrind\n\n\n\n\nCalc\n\n\n\n\nExtraction\n\n\n\n\nExtraction\n\n\n\n\nExtraction\n\n\n\n\nLime\n\n\n\n\nNaCN\n\n\n\n\nTEST\n\n\n\n\nSize\n\n\n\n\nHead\n\n\n\n\nat 8 hours\n\n\n\n\nat 12 hours\n\n\n\n\nat 24 hours\n\n\n\n\nConsump.\n\n\n\n\nConsump.\n\n\n \n\n\n(P80 um)\n\n\n\n\n(Au gpt)\n\n\n\n\n(%)\n\n\n\n\n(%)\n\n\n\n\n(%)\n\n\n\n\n(kg/t)\n\n\n\n\n(kg/t)\n\n\n\n\nCT1806\n\n\n\n\n40% Solids - 1.5kg/t NaCN - pH 10.5\n\n\n\n\n150\n\n\n\n\n3.28\n\n\n\n\n99.4%\n\n\n\n\n99.4%\n\n\n\n\n99.4%\n\n\n\n\n1.45\n\n\n\n\n0.37\n\n\n\n\nCT1807\n\n\n\n\n40% Solids - 1.5kg/t NaCN - pH 10.5\n\n\n\n\n106\n\n\n\n\n2.66\n\n\n\n\n95.5%\n\n\n\n\n99.3%\n\n\n\n\n99.3%\n\n\n\n\n1.51\n\n\n\n\n0.33\n\n\n\n\nCT1808\n\n\n\n\n40% Solids - 1.5kg/t NaCN - pH 10.5\n\n\n\n\n75\n\n\n\n\n1.85\n\n\n\n\n97.2%\n\n\n\n\n99.5%\n\n\n\n\n99.5%\n\n\n\n\n1.35\n\n\n\n\n0.40\n\n\n\n\nCT1814\n\n\n\n\n40% Solids - 1.0kg/t NaCN - pH 10.0\n\n\n\n\n212\n\n\n\n\n2.45\n\n\n\n\n92.0%\n\n\n\n\n97.1...
