Dutch Gold Commences Bulk Sampling Program in Nicaragua Joint Venture, Updates Progress
ATLANTA, GA -- (MARKETWIRE) -- 06/06/12 -- Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: DGRI) (PINKSHEETS: DGRI) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has begun analyzing bulk samples with its joint venture partner in Nicaragua. Completion of this testing will provide the data needed to determine the optimum gold and silver recovery methods for the ore currently being processed from the concession. The data will be used to determine the type of equipment that will be most effective to increase production and optimize gold recovery from the RadarNica property.
Gold recovery from the bulk samples will be tested by gravity separation, floatation and leaching methods. The test results will be used to select what recovery method or series of methods will work best for expanding, improving and modernizing gold and silver recoveries. The Company plans to increase the current production substantially, and to eliminate the use of mercury amalgamation, which is currently used for gold recovery, but creates the risk of mercury release into the environment. Mercury contamination in historic mining districts is a serious environmental problem throughout Latin America because amalgamation continues to be the primary gold recovery method used by artisanal miners. With its partner RadarNica, SA, the Company plans to expand and modernize the gold recovery at the existing test production facilities, while improving the safety of the workers.
The data produced from the tests will allow the Company to begin shipping equipment to the project, consistent with the timelines set forth in earlier guidance. The Company expects to have the new equipment and processes in place beginning July and August 2012.
"We are on schedule with the project and are pleased to take this next step, following the previously reported assay results. We had not expected to see the silver content and look to the bulk sample to give us insight into the potential silver recovery as well as the potential to enhance current gold processing," said Dan Hollis, CEO.
