07:26 AM EDT, 03/14/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Liberty Gold Corp. ( LGDTF ) reported Thursday the results from phase 4B and 4C metallurgical bottle roll and column testing of gold mineralization at the Black Pine oxide gold project in Idaho.

The company said results from 36 variability composites selected include an 84.2% weighted average gold extraction from column leach tests, with extraction rates ranging from 52.7% to 94.2%.

Over 80% of leachable gold was extracted within 10 days, Liberty said.

"The results of this latest phase of metallurgical column testwork add key infill data to the gold recovery model at Black Pine," President and COO Jon Gilligan said.

"The consistency of results across all phases of test work is encouraging and demonstrates the predictable nature of gold recovery across this extensive Carlin-style oxide gold system."

Meanwhile, results from the four remaining metallurgical core holes drilled in 2023 include 24.2 meters grading 0.66 g/t gold, including 21.0 meters grading 0.76 g/t gold.

The company gained 1.8% yesterday.
