BCGold Corp.'s Engineer Mine Bulk Sample Concentrate Averages 2,193.1 g/t (64.0 oz/ton) Gold
BCGold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BCG)(PINKSHEETS:BCGOF) (or the "Company") is pleased to announce final assay results and mining grades from the bulk sampling and on-site test milling component of the 2011 exploration program at the Company's Engineer Mine property. BCGold Corp. has received assay results from the 148.4 kg of Sluice Concentrate and 5.1 kg of High-Grade Gold Stream Concentrate produced while test milling six composite bulk samples mined from remnant portions of the Engineer and Double Decker Veins, some of which was outside of the currently stated mineral resource. This material was previously categorized as waste material by conventional chip sampling and drilling.
Gold was recovered in up to three separate concentrates from the on-site gravity separation mill for each of the six bulk samples. Sluice Concentrate returned an average gold grade of 550.7 g/t Au (16.1 oz/ton), with one subset bulk sample grading 1,091.5 g/t Au (31.8 oz/ton). The High-Grade Gold Stream Concentrate collected from the gravity circuit's finishing table returned a gold grade of 58,451.9 g/t Au (1,704.8 oz/ton or 5.8% Au). Incorporating the previously reported Table Concentrate results (see December 14, 2011 news release), test milling of 246.1 tonnes of bulk sample material in 2011 produced 969.2 dry kg of concentrate returning a weighted average grade of 2,193.1 g/t Au (64.0 oz/ton). An estimated 68.3 oz of gold is contained in the concentrate. Complete results are reported in Table 1.
