BISHOP, Calif., Sept. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North Bay Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “North Bay”) (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce the arrival of its first gold ore shipment from the Company’s Fran Gold Project and commencement of test milling operations. Starting today the Company will begin testing and optimization of milling for extraction of gold from ore. The first phase will involve testing of the jaw crusher to reduce the ore to minus ½” for feed into the ball mill for further reduction to minus 150 mesh and then moved as a slurry to the gravity separation table for extraction of free gold and other valuable metals. This will then be followed by optimization and testing of the flotation cells and reagent formulation with a final phase of further upgrading the flotation concentrate by use of a 2nd gravity table and report to tailings. The free gold and, as applicable, precious metal concentrate will be melted in the on-site furnace for production of Dore bars or similar high-grade instruments for bank vault storage or shipment to the gold refinery in Reno, Nevada. The initial shipment consisted of 22 tons of surface material loaded into one metric tonne (2200 lbs.) super-sacks and placed on flat-bed tractor trailers. The target material was recently assayed and graded 1.2 to 2.3 ounces gold per ton (see Press Release dated August 26, 2024).   The Company has identified approximately 5000 tons of target material for immediate shipment and a substantially larger amount of near surface material in trenches and defined by prior diamond drilling.

Bishop Gold Mill Technical Update

The Company has received a tailings pond inspection report from its environmental engineering firm, NewFields, indicating no issues or degradation of the tailings pond liner in the Waste Management Unit of the Bishop Gold Mill. The Company’s civil and process engineering firm SRK Consulting (Reno) is completing a De-watering Plan and updated Waste Management and Closure financial projection (2024 dollars), both will be used to determine if bond requirement will be adjusted by regulators. Currently, the Company has a $250,000 closure bond in place. The Company’s metallurgy lab, Woods Process Services, is completing an ore characterization study, flotation analyses, and report tailings characterization for filing with regulators as part of the mill start-up. Along with mechanical, plumbing, and electrical operational testing utilizing run-of-mine ore; water testing, operational, reporting, and safety protocols are now being checked and implemented as per the approved Plan of Operation and Waste Management Unit and Closure Plan.

Current transportation costs from the Fran Gold Project to the Bishop Gold Mill, are currently $150 per ton for long haul trucking, with off-road / site costs approximately the same. Both costs are expected to be substantially reduced. The acquisition of off-road transport equipment will eliminate high hourly charges by specialty off-road equipment operators due to the remote mine location and, although not an immediate priority, ultimately replacing long haul trucking with low-cost rail is expected to bring transport costs in line with equivalent regional mine to mill transport costs.

Mt. Vernon Gold Mine

The Company’s mine contractor has filed the required Federal Mining Authority (MSHA) operating plan and expects to commence operations in October. The initial detailed extraction plan for the drill, blast, load, and removal of a 500-ton high grade bulk sample is being updated and completed, based on prior 3D modelling, by the Company’s mine engineering consultant, RESPEC Company, and is expected shortly; site preparations are expected to commence thereafter.

Taber Gold Mine

Mining crews continue to develop and rehabilitate the Wild Boar Zone approximately 700 feet inside the mine. The primary work has consisted of steel and timber reinforcement of the tunnel and clearing of the historic Wild Boar shaft. Sampling of the three known mining faces will commence once rehabilitation is complete.

Corporate Update

The Sabean Group will receive an initial 100,000,000 incentive share purchase options with a 2-year term and a strike price of $0.0006, to be issued within 30 days, and $20,000 per month commencing in January 2025 for a term of one year.
