[{"type":"text","content":"Spanish Mountain Gold Reports Update on Metallurgical ProgramVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2019) - Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (TSXV: SPA) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce progress on the metallurgical test program for the Spanish Mountain Gold Project (the \"Project\") located in British Columbia, Canada. The metallurgical program is being completed at McClelland Laboratories Inc. under the direction of Mr. Tracey Meintjes, P. Eng. and Mr. Daniel Sepulveda, SME-RM. Samples from three drill holes completed during 2018 within the Phase 1 pit area of the proposed pit as defined in the Preliminary Economic Assessment completed for the project in 2017 (see news release dated May 17, 2017) were provided to the laboratory for the test program. Flotation testwork has initially focussed on two composites from these holes as follows:18-DH-1217                23.11 to 86.94 meters (63.83m) @ 0.75 g/t Au                                       including 23.11 to 61.41 meters (38.30m)@ 0.93 g/t Au.18-DH-1218                20.00 to 119.00 meters (99.00m) @ 1.06 g/t Au                                       including 57.67 to 119.00 meters (61.33m) @ 1.35 g/t AuThe test program has been initiated on composites from these holes to further increase the confidence level in the test results from previous programs as well as to provide the detail required for the proposed design of the overall process plant. Previous testwork has demonstrated that the deposit responds well to a conventional flowsheet of flotation to produce a sulphide concentrate that can be treated by cyanidation following fine grinding. The initial testwork in the current program has indicated the production of a gold-bearing sulphide flotation concentrate containing less than 0.5% active carbon. Previous testwork indicated that such concentrates can be further ...
