Patriot Resources' Tassa Silver Project: Promising Metallurgical Results

0:00I'm Corey, and this is your Pulse of the City, Sydney News Today. Patriot resources just shared promising metallurgical results from its TASA Silver Project in southern Peru. Historical tests showed average silver recoveries of 85% using standard cyanodation methods. The company owns a 31 million ounce silver equivalent resource there, grading 52 grams per ton. These tests came from six surface rock samples analyzed by ALS Chemex. They used controlled cyanide leaching over 12 hours, proving the silver extracts cleanly and efficiently. For mining companies, this means lower costs and less risk in processing. Experts see strong recoveries like these as a green life for development, often more crucial than grade alone. Peru leads global silver production from epithermal deposits and holds the world's largest reserves at 91,000 metric tons. TASA's mineralization starts right at surface and stays open everywhere. The initial resource covers 18,530,000 tons, including 25,500,000 ounces of silver.

To confirm the data, Patriot hired northern metallurgy in Queensland for an independent review. Meanwhile, rising silver prices from solar and electronics demand are spotlighting projects like this with solid fundamentals. Support for this DNA episode comes from our sponsor.
