Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX: ELO | OTCQX: ELRRF | FSE: P2QM) has provided an update on its ongoing preliminary metallurgical test work programme for its Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project in the Potosi Department of southern Bolivia.
“The Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic deposit is a remarkably extensive system with multiple potential ore types which require more metallurgical work than originally anticipated, especially for tin, as outlined in this press release,” commented Tom Larsen, CEO of Eloro.
“The preliminary metallurgical recovery estimates are a prerequisite for the release of the project’s maiden mineral resource (MRE). Consequently, the release of the MRE has been delayed until this metallurgical work, which is in progress, has been completed. All other work required for the MRE has been largely completed by Micon International Limited, including much of the reporting.”
The ongoing work, including flowsheet development test work and mineralogical characterization, is being carried out by Blue Coast Research Ltd. based in Parksville, British Columbia, and the Mineral Concentration Laboratory of the National Faculty of Engineering from the Technical University of Oruro, Bolivia. The objective of the coordinated work programmes is to develop a geo-metallurgical understanding of the mineralized domains and to obtain preliminary metallurgical recovery estimates.
Mr. Larsen continued, “I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Mike Hallewell, internationally recognized expert on tin metallurgy, as senior strategic metallurgist for Eloro. Going forward Mike will be working closely with our metallurgical consultants to optimize our tin recovery and with our geological team to define geo-metallurgical domains for mineral resource definition and future potential production.”
The overall metallurgical test work/mineralogical characterization programme has evolved into the development of several potential flowsheets to best fit the extensive mineralization identified within the project area.
