[{"type":"text","content":" HIGHLIGHTS Steinert KSS 100F LIXT fine mechanical sorting unit (“Sorter”) enroute to Nullagine Phase 2 trials scheduled to commence once Sorter commissioned (expected early December 2021) Trials to continue through Q2 2022, at which time the Sorter is scheduled to be relocated to the Company’s Karratha project to continue detailed testwork at Comet Well and Purdy’s Reward, potentially leading to commercialization of mechanical sorting of Novo’s Pilbara gold deposits “Mobilizing the mechanical sorter for Phase 2 field trials represents an important step in progressing this innovative technology,” commented Mr. Rob Humphryson, CEO and a director of Novo. “We are looking forward to observing Sorter performance from field samples collected at Comet Well, Purdy’s Reward, Talga Talga, and Egina ahead of larger-scale field trials at Comet Well and Purdy’s Reward scheduled for Q2 2022.” VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novo Resources Corp. (“Novo” or the “Company”) (TSX: NVO, NVO.WT & NVO.WT.A) (OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to advise that Phase 2 mechanical sorting trials of Pilbara deposit bulk samples will commence from early December 2021. The Company’s Steinert KSS 100F LIXT fine mechanical sorting unit (the “Sorter”) will be installed adjacent to the Company’s Golden Eagle processing facility in Nullagine, Western Australia. The Sorter is currently enroute to Nullagine and will be commissioned over the next few weeks. 50 samples from four different deposits across the Pilbara (Figure 1), ranging in size from 800 kg to approximately five tonnes, will be crushed and screened into three size fractions prior to testing through the Sorter. The bulk samples will be processed by the Sorter to produce a concentrate for gold assay. Once this second phase of testing is complete, expected around Q2 2022, the next phase of the test work will involve relocating the Sorter to the Company’ Comet Well project in Karratha, Western Australia and commencing proposed large-scale bulk sample sorting testwork of 20,000 tonnes, leading to potential commercialization of mechanical sorting for Pilbara conglomerates. The Sorter infrastructure, designed and constructed by OPS Screening and Crushing Equipment (“OPS”), is a fully modular and containerized turn-key plant deployable to any of Novo’s tenements in the future fo...
