COPPER-ZINC: Yorbeau enjoys excellent conc grades, recoveries from Scott project

QUEBEC – Yorbeau Resources of Montreal says the reports are very positive from metallurgical tests of material from its Scott copper-zinc project 20 km west of Chibougamau. Concentrate grades were excellent, and recoveries good. [caption id="attachment_1003719781" align="alignleft" width="300"] 3D isometric view of the Scott Lake copper-zinc deposit.

The sample was representative of the ratio of massive sulphides and stringer sulphides as estimated in the resources. Two separate concentrates were made. The copper conc averaged 25.4% copper, 6.5% zinc, 8.5 g/t gold and 612 g/t silver. The locked cycle test had an overall recovery of 82% in a 23.3% copper concentrate. The zinc conc graded 0.6% copper, 53.3% zinc, 0.27 g/t gold and 63.6 g/t silver. The locked cycle test had an overall 83% zinc recovery in a 51.1% zinc concentrate. The Scott project has indicated resources of 3.6 million tonnes grading 0.95% copper and 4.17% zinc plus inferred resources of 14.3 million tonnes at 0.78% copper and 3.49% zinc.
