North Bay Resources (NBRI) has successfully produced its first gold concentrate at the Bishop Gold Mill in California. The company is preparing to ship the concentrate to their refinery partner in Reno, Nevada this week. The refinery will process the material with a fee not exceeding 5% based on gold spot price. The company is currently using gravity-only processing while awaiting flotation reagents delivery.

Following successful gold extraction, NBRI has begun mobilizing additional ore shipments from the Fran Gold Project. The material will be transported in metric tonne super sacks via boxcars to Modesto and then to Bishop, with transportation costs reduced to $260 per standard ton. Previous assays of surface material showed 1.2-2.3 ounces per ton.

L'azienda si prepara a spedire il concentrato al suo partner di raffinazione a Reno, Nevada, questa settimana. La raffineria elaborerà il materiale con una commissione che non supererà il 5% in base al prezzo spot dell'oro. L'azienda sta attualmente utilizzando un processo solo di gravità mentre attende la consegna dei reagenti per la flottazione.

Dopo l'estrazione di oro avvenuta con successo, NBRI ha iniziato a mobilitare ulteriori spedizioni di minerale dal Fran Gold Project. Il materiale sarà trasportato in sacchi super da una tonnellata metrica tramite vagoni merci verso Modesto e in seguito a Bishop, con i costi di trasporto ridotti a 260 $ per tonnellata standard. Le analisi precedenti del materiale superficiale hanno mostrato 1,2-2,3 once per tonnellata.

노스 베이 리소스(NBRI)가 캘리포니아의 비숍 금 제련소에서 첫 번째 금 농축물을 성공적으로 생산했습니다. 회사는 이번 주에 네바다주 리노에 있는 정제 파트너에게 농축물을 발송할 준비를 하고 있습니다. 정제소는 금 현물 가격을 기준으로 5%를 초과하지 않는 수수료로 이 물질을 처리할 것입니다. 회사는 현재 중력을 이용한 처리만을 사용하고 있습니다 플로타이온 시약의 배송을 기다리고 있습니다.

성공적인 금 추출에 이어 NBRI는 프랜 골드 프로젝트에서 추가 광물 선적을 동원하기 시작했습니다. 이 물질은 메트릭 톤 슈퍼 자루에 담아 박스카를 통해 모데스토로 이동한 후 비숍으로 운송되며, 운송 비용은 표준 톤당 260달러로 줄어듭니다. 표면 물질에 대한 이전의 분석은 톤당 1.2-2.3온스를 보여주었습니다.

BISHOP, Calif., Nov. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North Bay Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “North Bay”) (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce the first gold concentrate has been successfully produced at the Company’s Bishop Gold Mill (see Photo 1). Extraction of gold by gravity separation on the Deister Table has resulted in striation of gold and other metals and production of a gold concentrate. The Mill continues to process ore with an initial shipment to the Company’s refinery partner in Reno, Nevada expected this week. The Refinery will process the concentrate and make payment to North Bay. The Refinery will provide a sample of material for split assay by the Company. The Company will provide check assay to ALS Global for comparison. If there is a discrepancy between the Refinery and Company assay, the Company has agreed to split the difference. The Refinery fee is based on a spot price of gold and gross percentage processing fee not to exceed 5%. The balance of payment after refining fee is known as the Net Smelter Return.

The Company currently awaits delivery of flotation reagents to the Bishop Gold Mill, expected shortly. In the interim, the Company is utilizing a gravity only process. Upon arrival of flotation reagents the Company will implement gold extraction by flotation with gravity finish. The Company has completed final testing of the flotation cells and overflow.

Fran Gold Mobilization
As a result of the recent extraction of gold, the Company has commenced mobilization for immediate shipment of additional ore. The shipments will be of surface material loaded into 1 metric tonne (2200 lbs) super sacks and boxcars for delivery to Modesto, California and forwarding to the Company’s Bishop, California Gold Mill. Logistics agreements have been reached with the railroad and it has been determined that boxcars holding up to 100 metric tonnes equal to 100 super sacks will be utilized. The cars will be loaded at the rail head proximate to the mine. Recent logistics agreements have now reduced the all-in transportation cost from mine to mill to $260 per standard ton. Previous assay results of surface material were 1.2 – 2.3 ounces per ton (see Press Release dated August 26, 2024).

Fran Gold Project
The Property is 34,360 acres and is located 20 miles from Centerra Gold’s 60,000 tonne per day Mt. Milligan Copper, Gold Mine (299Mt @ 0.22% Cu, .45 g/t Au). To date there has been in excess of 50,000 feet of diamond drilling in 104 holes at Fran, primarily at the Bullion Alley Zone. A gold deposit, 3700 feet in length, with width of up to 120 feet, and depth of over 700 feet has been delineated. The deposit contains 3 to 4 well defined parallel gold veins grading up to 2.6 troy ounces of gold per ton as well as wide sections of low and mid-grade gold in veins and disseminated in veinlets throughout the deposit. Surface trenching has identified a near surface sub-zone where the gold bearing veins swell and are accessible from surface. In addition, samples have assayed up to 1.68% copper and 5.1 troy ounces per ton silver. There is property wide potential for additional discoveries of gold and copper with numerous showings outside of the Bullion Alley Zone. There is approximately 5,000 tons of surface material available for immediate shipment.
