[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, June 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF) (“Troilus” or the “Company”) is pleased to report excellent metallurgical recovery results for the Southwest Zone as part of an ongoing pilot plant scale metallurgical testing program on each of the main mineral deposits at its 100%-owned Troilus Project, located in northcentral Quebec, Canada. Approximately 9 tonnes (9,000 kg) of sample material, ~3 tonnes from the three main mineral zones (Zone Z87, J Zone and Southwest Zone) were sent to Eriez’s metallurgical test facility in Erie, Pennsylvania, last year to validate the recovery of gold, copper and silver using standard gravity and column flotation technology. The results of these test programs will be used to support the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study, as well as future economic studies. Southwest Zone Test Program Overview and Results: An ~3 tonne (3,000 kg) composite sample of mineralized material from the Southwest Zone, prepared using coarse assay rejects from the various domains of the entire mineralized zone was provided to Eriez for testing. Overall copper recovery of 93.5%, gold recovery of 88.3%, and silver recovery of 89.4% was achieved in combined gravity separation and rougher-scavenger-cleaners column flotation, an industry standard processing method. These results are consistent and generally exceed the recoveries used in the Preliminary Economic Assessment (refer to press release dated August 20, 2020), where the recoveries for copper and gold were 90% and silver was 40% Justin Reid, CEO and Director of Troilus Gold, commented, “We are very pleased with the recovery results from the Southwest Zone, which are consistent with those released a few months ago from the J Zone. The Southwest Zone is located approximately two kilometres away from the formerly mined pits and was only discovered about two years ago, so for the metallurgical results from this area to be in line with previous work and new results from the main zones is very encouraging.” On February 28, 2022, Troilus announced excellent metallurgical test results for the J Zone of gold, copper and silver recoveries of 92.9%, 90.4% and 88.8%, respectively. Ongoing testing is being completed on the 3rd and last sample for Zone Z87 and will be announced once complete. Qualified Persons The scientific and technical info...
