GoldSands Updates Gold Production Test
17 June 2011 - 6:51AM
Marketwired
GoldSands Development Company (OTCBB: GSDC) (OTCQB: GSDC) is
pleased to announce updated results from our alluvial gold
production test at the Company's Mika 2 concessions in Peru.
The initial gold production test mining project is taking place
with Swiss Mining on Mika 2 within the 2.5 square kilometer area of
our 100-hole drill program.
Our updated numbers from the ongoing test production for the
period March 28th to June 7th are as follows:
Gravel mined: 7350 m3 (9613 cubic yards)
Raw gold produced: 2338 grams (2.338 kg) (75.2 troy oz.)
Raw gold grade: 318 mg/m(3) (3.76 grains/cubic yard)
Raw gold value: US$ 15.34/m(3) (US$ 11.73/cubic yard)
The Company cautions that these results have not been
independently verified, and that we will not attempt to reach a
conclusion about potential alluvial gold yields based solely upon
the data derived from the first two months of test production.
GoldSands VP of Production, Rafal Swiecki, commented:
"It is encouraging that the average gold grade so far has
remained within previously identified levels (over 318 mg/m3). We
are now testing various recovery methods to determine if the large
volume of alluvial material on our properties may contain gold
values conducive to profitable extraction."
About GoldSands Development Company
The Company's goal is to fully develop our Peruvian GoldSands
project. The Company's GoldSands project in Peru consists of
options on 461 square kilometers (178 square miles) of mining
property, the largest such block in the district. For thousands of
years, the waters of the Santiago and the Maranon rivers have been
carving their way through the gold-rich mountain canyons of the
Andes, carrying off gold and depositing it, as the river comes out
into the plain, in the loose gravels and sands - GoldSands - in the
area the Company now controls.
Results from test holes drilled during GSDC's exploratory drill
program indicate the presence of alluvial gold in economical
quantities. While the results from the drill programs and initial
results of the ongoing test mining production are favorable, the
Company cautions that these results do not indicate the presence of
a commercially viable mineral deposit over most of the optioned
area and an extensive amount of further exploration is needed to
determine the full feasibility of the project. The Company can
provide no assurance that its Peruvian GoldSands project will
contain an economically viable mineral deposit. The Company has
signed an agreement with Swiss Mining S.A., which is presently
proceeding with the test mining production program within the 2.5
square kilometer area of the recent 100-hole drill program.
The Company has completed a social baseline study involving a
series of meetings with local residents and other stakeholders in
the region. We intend to work in an equitable, transparent, and
socially responsible manner with local communities, suppliers and
employees. We will act as stewards of the local and regional
ecological systems, behaving in an environmentally responsible way,
leaving a minimal "footprint" as a result of our operations. Our
company is working towards building trust and sustaining
relationships that go well beyond mining operations.
The full implementation of these programs will require the
Company to secure additional financing.
