Benz Mining: PhotonAssay of 2020 Core Underway in Perth
HIGHLIGHTS
Reject samples from the 2020 drilling campaign have arrived at MinAnalytical in Perth, Western Australia for analysis by PhotonAssay
Samples had been integrated in the laboratory schedule ahead of delivery to allow for immediate start at reception and analysis has started
Whole rock analysis to be conducted capturing visible gold, observed in core and potentially not reflected in standard fire assays
Historical analysis from 2010/11 programs highlighted that fire assays under called grades by on average 34% compared with screen fire assays
Analysis run in conjunction with large scale heterogeneity test quantifying the nature of the high-grade gold at the Eastmain deposit
Understanding and quantifying the nature of high-grade gold mineralisation will improve future resource estimate and confidence
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 7, 2021) - Benz Mining Corp. (TSXV: BZ) (ASX: BNZ) (the Company or Benz) is pleased to announce that a single shipment of over 8t of coarse rejects from its 2020 drilling campaign has been received by MinAnalytical's Perth laboratory from Quebec.
Coarse rejects are the leftover material from the processing of core samples during the assaying process. On average, coarse rejects represent over 80% of the core samples submitted to Actlabs in Quebec for standard fire assays in 2020 (fire assays with both AAS and gravimetric finish, only using a 50g subsample of the material submitted).
