Belvedere Starts Further Tests on Open-Pit Nickel Ore for
Processing at Hitura
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 14, 2014) -
Belvedere Resources Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:BEL) ("The Company") is
pleased to announce that in response to the recent recovery in
nickel prices it has initiated further tests to improve the
marketability of nickel concentrate from the Hitura Mine
open-pit.
Previous test mining during 2013 indicated that the open-pit
ores, when blended with Hitura underground ores, produced a good
concentrate; but that open-pit ore alone produced a low nickel
tenor concentrate. The Company has dispatched samples for further
flotation test work aimed at boosting the concentrate grades and
recoveries from the Hitura open pit ores.
The open-pit at Hitura is fully permitted to be mined and is
readily accessible. Currently, there are no plans to restart
pumping at the underground operations. Meanwhile the Company
continues with its Feasibility Study on the Kopsa gold copper
project.
Forward Looking Statement: Some of the statements
contained herein may be forward-looking statements, which involve
known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Without limitation,
statements regarding future plans and objectives of the Company
(including statements relating to possible re-commencement of
production at Hitura and the improved marketability of nickel
concentrate) are forward-looking statements that involve various
degrees of risk. It is important to note that the Company's actual
results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking
statements.
