Vast Resources PLC Reports Drilling And Metallurgical Results At Soviet Tailings Facilities In Aprelevka Vast Resources PLC announced that further drilling, trench sampling and metallurgical test work have recently been completed on the Soviet Tailings Facilities at Aprelevka. The trench sampling programme comprised 41 trenches. Grades were determined by fire assay. The gold grade from these samples varies from 0.03 g/t to 5.17 g/t on TSF1B and from 0.05 to 5.33 g/t on TSF2B, whereas the silver grade ranges from 14 to 1232 g/t on TSF1B and from 14 to 1163 g/t on TSF2B. Drilling included a total of 69 holes, with an average depth of 16.94m, over an area of 185,535m² (for TSF1B) and an additional 83 holes, with an average depth of 11.34 m, over an area of 141,460 m² (for TSF2B). It should be noted however that at present no bulk density test work has been undertaken, and as such any tonnages pertaining to this phase of exploration are pending completion of bulk density testing and expressed in ranges in the table below which will form part of the updated CPR that will be available for review on the Company website shortly. The results of the above have yielded mineralised inventory ranges for Soviet Tailings, with gold grades between 1.10 to 1.40 g/t and silver grades between 304.40 to 376.00 g/t. The trench sampling programme included an average depth of approximately 5.0 metres. One-metre interval face samples were collected and blended to produce representative composite samples for metallurgical flotation test work. In addition, 15 replicate X-ray fluorescence readings were taken from a single representative bulk sample extracted from a 500g flotation concentrate, using the "Mining Cu/Zn" element suite of a Niton XRF NL2 analyser to characterise the elemental composition of the concentrate and to benchmark it against the acceptance ranges published by three potential off-takers. The sample analysed has been subjected only to a laboratory bench-scale primary rougher flotation test. It has not yet undergone scavenger and cleaner flotation or drying and filtration; the stages that would normally be used to upgrade a rougher concentrate into a final, sales-specification concentrate. Regrinding is not required for this circuit, as the feed comprises reclaimed historical tailings already at the appropriate grind size; the remaining upgrade path is therefore further flotation (cleaning and scavenging), rather than comminution. The results demonstrated an increase in the silver concentration. Mr. Negru has reviewed the Soviet Tailings exploration data referred to in this announcement and is responsible for the Soviet Tailings exploration results and current mineralised material estimates (noting these are not yet reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012)).
