Palamina Bulk Sample Returns 3.6 gpt Gold at the Usicayos Gold Project, Peru
Palamina Corp. (TSXV: PA) (OTCQB: PLMNF) has reported promising results from a bulk sample study at its Usicayos Gold Project in Peru. The 20 kg sample from the SDO east zone returned an average grade of 3.6 g/t gold, with 99.73% determined to be liberated gold. This study, along with metallic screening and photon assaying, is helping establish optimal protocols for the upcoming drill program.
Key findings include:
- 99.73% of gold mass was liberated gold
- 97.88% of gold mass found as free surfaces
- Approximately 10% of gold occurs in grains larger than 150 microns
- Only a small proportion (<1%) of gold surfaces associated with gangue minerals
The SDO zone, hosted in Paleozoic Sandia Formation, is controlled by regional shear zones and measures approximately 1.5 km in width and 2.2 km in strike length. The upcoming drill program will test the interpretation of a possible near-vertical feeder zone at the heart of the SDO zone.

For this first study a 40 kg bulk sample was collected from the SDO east (SDO-E) zone from two adjacent locations, a surface exposure previously channel sampled and a nearby underground adit not previously sampled. The total area sampled measured approximately 15 x 5 metres. Sampling at both locations was continuous and should be considered representative. The composite was then split to a 20 kg sample and delivered to SGS Laboratories ("SGS"). The study returned an overall grade of 3.6 g/t Au where
"Our first 20 kg bulk sample from the SDO-E zone returned an average grade of 3.6 g/t gold where
The mineralogical study was completed by SGS using a Tescan Integrated Mineral Analyser (TIMA) method, which combines a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and automated digital imagery processing to determine the grain size, mineral association and liberation of mineral phases. SGS prepared an initial kinematic test, using a standard ball mill to determine the optimal grinding time needed to obtain P80 of 212 microns, the maximum size allowed for the TIMA method. The test showed that the acceptable grain size is achieved after 3.7 minutes. Following the initial kinematic test on the 20 Kg bulk sample, a 1 kg sample was pre-concentrated using a Knelson gravity concentrator to obtain a representative sample for the TIMA mineralogy test. Fire Assay analysis of the 1 kg sample yielded 3.6 g/t Au.
The TIMA test also identified 11 gold grains, one of which had a grain size of over 150 microns. As a percentage of the mass of the gold minerals,

The SDO zone is hosted in Paleozoic Sandia Formation shale, siltstone and sandstone and is controlled by regional shear zones developed by regional thrusting. The host shear structure at SDO is the widest identified at Usicayos to date, measuring approximately 1.5 km in width and 2.2 km in strike length. Gold mineralization is found along continuous "mantos" developed parallel to foliation along carbonaceous shear zones. The foliation, either side of a major NW-SE fault, dips steeply towards the centre suggesting a possible near vertical feeder zone (or "flower structure") at the heart of the SDO zone. The upcoming drill program at SDO is designed to test this interpretation. A new sampling protocol, designed from the studies completed to date, will be implemented in the upcoming drill program.
