Heraldo de Madrid - PPX Announces Test of Sulfide Ore Processing

The first batch of concentrate, amounting 142.05 tones was loaded and sent for sale. The analysis of the concentrate was 13.40 gr/tn of gold and 1,274.31 gr/tn of silver, with an estimated yield of 8 tones of mined material per tone of concentrate. The value of this concentrate paid by the buyer was US$1,944.54 per tone.

The rest of this material is being processed and shipped. Due to oxidation (transitioning zone from oxides to sulfides), the average recovery to concentrate was 53.05% for gold and 75.50% for silver, in line with management expectations. Laboratory test on sulfides with no oxidation have given gold recoveries in excess of 90%. Ongoing testing is planned to optimize metallurgical parameters for transitional zone.

John Thomas, CEO commented "test showed that a significant cash flow can be generated, even from the transitional zone, and it is expected that a further increase in recoveries can be obtained once unoxidized zone is reached".
