BBX Minerals announced results of ongoing metallurgical testing from RC drill samples from the Company's Três Estados prospect as part of its pilot testing programme. The Company has conducted further metallurgical testwork at the Marcelo da Silva Pinto M.E. facility (Marcelo), using a similar process to that reported on April 30, 2018 and June 14, 2018 for RC holes TERC-003, TERC-005 and TERC-006 (Três Estados). Seven tests (14 smelts) were conducted on 5kg samples from two metre intervals from hole TERC-007, located approximately 200m from hole TERC-003, using the same flux components as previously used for holes for TERC-003, TERC-005 and TERC 006. Sufficient material was available from 0 to 4 metres in TERC-007 for BBX to conduct a 5kg smelt, the first such test from the near-surface weathering profile. Where sufficient material exists from holes TERC-008, 009, 010 and 011 and Ema diamond drill holes similar intervals will be tested. Confirmation of extensive near-surface mineralisation will facilitate the planned trial mining operation.
