Vancouver, BC -- Sabina Gold & Silver Corp (SBB.T), ("Sabina" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive preliminary metallurgical optimization test results on its 100%-owned Back River gold project ("Back River" or the "Project") in Nunavut, Canada.
After release of the Back River Initial Project Feasibility Study in September of last year, Sabina has identified several metallurgical optimization opportunities that could have a positive economic impact on the Back River project. The two opportunities with the greatest potential impact are coarser grinding as part of the CIP circuit contemplated in the feasibility study, and revisiting flotation with the addition of regrinding concentrates to 50 micron before leaching.
