February 4, 2021 – TheNewswire - Providence Gold Mines “the Company” (TSXV:PHD) (OTC:PRRVF) is pleased to report that David Turner P.Geo together with Lee Groat Ph.D. P.Geo the Company’s Qualified Person, are reviewing a proposal from a leading US Metallurgical Laboratory to conduct bulk sample gravity testing of the stockpile material in the form of an extended gravity recoverable gold (E-GRG) at FLSmidth Minerals Testing and Research Center of Salt Lake City, UT.
The bulk sample test work is designed to determine the amount of free gold in the material. The Company has been informed that the lab testing can commence begin March 1st, 2021 and estimated results within 4 weeks.
The Company recently concluded a percussion drill program to determine the depth profile of the stockpile assays and to demonstrate the presence of gold and not the true representation of values. The Company believes the surface trenching program which returned significant gold values reported in NR of November 5th, 2019 are representative of the stockpile of material.
