Bayhorse Silver (BHS) has completed its previously announced metallurgical sample at the Crane Creek Gold Project, Idaho, USA.

The metallurgical sample of 610 kg (1,340 lb) has been crushed to 25 mm (1 inch) minus at the Bayhorse Mine, bagged, and taken to the Bayhorse Mill in Payette, Idaho, for processing.

The next step is to mill the material to 125 microns (100 mesh) and conduct gravity concentrate tests at which time both the gravity and tailings samples will be submitted for fire assay. Flotation and leaching tests will be conducted on the gravity tailings.

Mineralization at Crane Creek consists of gold and silver-bearing arsenopyrite.

The intent of the metallurgical testing of Crane Creek mineralization is to determine the flotation and leaching characteristics of the gold-bearing arsenopyrite mineralization.

Three samples of the primary crushed rock have been sent to Christophersen Umpire Assayers, Smelterville, Idaho. Three one-ton assay samples (50g) were subjected to both gravity and fire assay for gold and silver content.

The three samples graded 0.127 oz/t (3.95 g/t) gold 0.92 oz/t (28.6 g/t) silver; 0.046 oz/t (1.43 g/t) gold, 0.88 oz/t (27.37 g/t) silver; and 0.038 oz/t gold and 0.5 oz/t 15.5 g/t silver.

“The large fluctuations in silver prices this past two and a half years, especially the 32 per cent drop in silver price in the past 100 days, and the increased operating input costs, especially fuel costs, is affecting every miner,” said Bayhorse CEO, Graeme O’Neill.

“The company has added the Crane Creek Gold claims that are in close proximity to the Payette, Idaho Mill, as a property that has the potential of adding both gold and silver mineralization to the current high grade silver Mill feed to counter these increased costs,” he added.

The company also announces that, subject to the approval of the TSX-V Exchange, it has extended the expiry date of some warrants.
