The initial bottle roll tests returned gold recoveries up to 86%. Additionally, the Company is providing an update on its Jefferson North Project and is announcing a new marketing agreement.\"The initial metallurgical testing has yielded positive results and appears to demonstrate that the gold at Tyro can likely be recovered with cyanide via conventional processing methods. As a result of this test work, West Point Gold plans to complete a small-scale bulk sampling program for follow-up test work that is expected to include initial column testing,\" stated Executive Chairman, Derek Macpherson. Highlights from Metallurgical Testing:Testing demonstrates that the gold at Tyro is cyanide-soluble and likely recoverable via conventional processing methods.Gold recoveries ranged from 86% to 32% on the 23 samples tested. Silver recoveries ranged from 80% to 34%.The largest factor impacting recovery was crush size, with finer material seeing better recoveries than coarser material. This test did not control crush size, but it was measured as part of the testing.Gold grade and sample depth did not appear to have a significant impact on recoveries.Cyanide and lime consumption appear to be within normal parameters.Design for a follow-up program is underway, with test material expected to come from small-scale bulk sampling.Summary of Metallurgical Results:Gold extractions for the bottle roll leach tests utilizing as-received material previously crushed to a nominal 2 millimetres ranged from 32% to 86% after 144 hours of leaching. Recoveries are based on calculated heads ranging from 0.142 to 9.229 g/t gold. Silver extractions ranged from 34% to 80% based on calculated head grades ranging from 0.40 to 197.77 g/t silver. The sodium cyanide consumption ranged from 0.09 to 0.53 kilograms per metric tonne. Hydrated lime additions ranged from 0.50 to 3.25 kilograms per metric tonne. The calculated p80 particle size of the material test...
