EAGLE HILL REPORTS UP TO 97 PERCENT GOLD RECOVERY AT WINDFALL LAKE
Eagle Hill Exploration Corp.'s results from initial metallurgical test work from the Windfall Lake property in Quebec demonstrate gold recoveries up to 97 per cent.
The initial metallurgical testing indicates that gold recovery can be achieved by conventional processing. A total of 17 per cent of the gold was recovered through gravity and an additional 80 per cent was recovered in gold-bearing sulphide flotation concentrate. Additional mineralogical testing is under way to evaluate the distribution of the gold grains in the gravity and the flotation concentrates. This information will be used to plan further metallurgical optimization studies.
Dr. Jean-Philippe Desrochers, chief geologist of Eagle Hill, commented: "These positive metallurgical results speak well for the high quality of this gold resource at Windfall Lake. The results show that gold recoveries at the property can be successfully achieved with simple gravity and flotation processes. Since metallurgical recovery is a key component in the economic evaluation of mining projects, the company decided to address the metallurgical risks early in the planning process to develop an economically viable gold deposit."
The initial metallurgical test was conducted on a 10-kilogram sample collected from quarter split core of zone 27 (drill hole EAG-10-196, 254 to 278 meters). This mineralization is typical of the Windfall gold deposit and consists of 5 to 15 per cent disseminated pyrite and stringers hosted in a sericitized felsic volcanic rock unit.
Test work was conducted by G&T Metallurgical Services Ltd. of Kamloops, B.C., Canada. G&T is a highly reputable independent laboratory with more than 20 years experience in the field. The property's metallurgical work by G&T was managed by Thomas Shouldice, PEng, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.
Previous metallurgical testing, completed in the fall of 2008 by Laboratoire LTM Inc. at the request of Noront Resources Ltd., on two other gold zones at the Windfall Lake property indicated recoveries reaching 94 per cent for the F-11 zone and 89 per cent for the F-17 gold zone.
Dr. Desrochers, PhD, PGeo, is a qualified person registered in Quebec as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed the technical information that this press release contains.
About the Windfall Lake property
The Windfall Lake property comprises 362 contiguous claims (over 12,000 hectares) in the Abitibi mineralized belt of Northern Quebec. This area between Val d'Or and Chibougamau is known for its gold and copper production and excellent infrastructure for exploration and mining. Historically, the Windfall Lake property has had extensive historic grassroots exploration work. Along with its independently acquired claims at the Windfall Lake property, Eagle Hill has signed options with Murgor Resources Inc., Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (formerly, Freewest Resources Canada Inc.) and Noront Resources Ltd. to acquire the Windfall Lake property.
