Value Microcaps Junior Miners

Telson Mining, TSN.v/SOHFF C$.42

Telson took over Camp Morado and restarted production last year, declaring commercial production a few months ago. Producing mostly base metals and forecasting 2500 tpd by Q4. This study could transform Morado into a gold mine with significant base metals reducing cash costs. There are approx 300K oz of gold in tailings plus in the remaining resource. IF this process proved feasible at a reasonable capex, Morado could produce 25K gold/yr. That's an extra $30million/yr in gross revs. Telson is building a second mine called Tahuehueto that's set to start production at 1,000tpd in Q1 2019. It should produce gold plus base metals also.

Average annual production 28K oz Au, 311K oz Ag, 1.7M
lbs Cu, 6M lbs Pb and 10.6M lbs Zn.
• Unit LOM operating cash costs 244.1M (US$74.80/tonne)*

Will be watching for results of this study. Could catapult Telson market cap from current C$58million. Ending trade war with China could have similar impact due to effect on base metal pricing but that's another story.

Business Wire•November 15, 2018
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Telson Mining Corporation (“Telson” or the “Company”) (TSX-V – TSN, OTC Pink – SOHFF, Frankfurt – TSGN (formerly SQ82)) is pleased to announce retaining Glencore Technology to conduct Albion ProcessTM leach testing of newly processed flotation tailings and historic tailings to increase recoveries of gold and silver, plus zinc flotation testing focused on Jameson CellTM technology to increase zinc recoveries and zinc concentrate grade at the Campo Morado Mine.

States Antonio Berlanga, Telson CEO, “In our ongoing quest to maximize the returns from Campo Morado production we are excited to embark on Albion Process testing, an exciting new proven technology, to liberate gold and silver from mines with refractory gold and silver mineralization. If testing proves successful, we intend to fast-track funding the capital costs and installation of the Albion Process recovery equipment and technology during 2019. Thereafter, we believe Campo Morado will transition from predominantly a zinc producer, into a primary precious metal producer with strong base metal by-products which will certainly and positively impact the mines profitability.”

About the Albion ProcessTM from Glencore Technology’s Albion Process web site

(Albion Process – Official Website)

“The Albion ProcessTM technology consists of two key steps. The first step is ultrafine grinding of the feed material using Glencore Technology’s IsaMillTM. The second step is an oxidative leach of the finely ground feed minerals at atmospheric pressure to break down the sulphide matrix and liberate gold and silver for recovery by conventional means.

Albion Process™ has real-world success in delivering consistently high recoveries – up to 97% in refractory gold and over 99% in chalcopyrite copper concentrates. It has much lower capital cost than traditional leaching plants like pressure oxidation (POx) plants and because it operates at atmospheric pressure, it completely avoids the myriad risks of POx plants. It’s also dramatically less expensive to operate, with a recent study suggesting a third lower in ongoing opex costs. It’s also is incredibly fast to install and commission and very easy to operate.

Albion Process™ is a combination of ultrafine grinding and oxidative leaching at atmospheric pressure. The feed to the Albion Process™ are base or precious metal concentrates. The sulphides in the feed are oxidised and valuable metals liberated, with the economic metals recovered by conventional downstream processing. It was developed in 1994 by Glencore and is patented worldwide.

The Albion Process™ plants around the world are treating a range of materials including a zinc sulphide concentrate, refractory gold/silver concentrates and chalcopyrite copper concentrates.”

The Albion ProcessTM and Jameson CellTM testing with Glencore Technology is estimated to be completed within 15 weeks of receipt of samples in Brisbane, Australia. An additional two weeks are estimated for the preparation and delivery of a Class 5 Engineering Study providing the following information,

About Telson Mining Corporation

Telson Mining Corporation is a Canadian based mining company with two Mexican gold, silver and base metal mining projects. Telson is currently in commercial production at its 100% owned Campo Morado Mine in Guerrero, Mexico. Effective May 15, 2018 Telson declared commercial production at Campo Morado. Telson is currently producing zinc and lead concentrates with gold, silver and copper as by-products, processing approximately 2,000+ tons per day through the Campo Morado milling facilities.

Telson's 100% owned Tahuehueto Project, located in north-western Durango State, Mexico is currently in construction development. Pre-production commenced at Tahuehueto in August 2017, currently mining at a rate averaging 170 tonnes per day during Sept 1st – 23rd 2018 shipping ore to a third-party toll mill for processing. Management has a targeted timeline at Tahuehueto to be producing with its own on-site mineral processing plant, with a designed capacity of at least 1,000 tonnes per day, during the first quarter of 2019.
