Argenta Silver Reports Strong Silver Recoveries From From El Quevar Project Flotation Tests
Argenta Silver (AGAG.V), up near 7% on last look, said on Monday that early flotation results from its metallurgical testwork program at the El Quevar project returned strong silver recoveries.Thirteen of the 15 samples from the Argentina property averaged 95% silver recovery including recoveries of up to 99%, a statement said."These initial metallurgical results from Yaxtche are outstanding. Achieving silver recoveries of approximately 99% in multiple rougher flotation samples, together with 96% silver recovery in cleaner testing producing a concentrate grading 14,857 g/t Ag, is an exceptional result, particularly considering that this is still early-stage testwork and that optimization, blending and locked-cycle testing have not yet been completed," said Argenta Silver Chief Executive Officer Joaquin Marias.Argenta Silver shares were last seen up CA$0.03 at CA$0.48 on the TSX Venture Exchange.Price: $0.48, Change: $+0.03, Percent Change: +6.74%
