PPX Mining Corp. announced that over 1,291 tonnes of bulk sample grading 7.82 gpt gold were mined and processed during the month of September 2017. Together with stockpiled "low-grade" material, the company mined a total of 1,966 tonnes of bulk sample during the month, a rate of approximately 70 tonnes/day, a 71% increase in the bulk sampling rate over the prior month. For the third quarter of 2017, PPX mined a total of 4,807 tonnes of bulk sample, 37% more material than the company's goal of 3,500 metric tonnes. Highlights of the operational results for September include: During the month of September 2017, PLP reports that fifty-one truckloads containing 1,291 tonnes of gold mineralized rock were shipped to the Malin Plant of Silver Cascas S.A.C. ("Silver Cascas") during the September operating period. The average gold grade of the mineralized material was 7.82 gpt gold, similar to the life-of-test mining average grade of 8.07 gpt gold. Gold recoveries from processing the mineralized rock at the Silver Cascas processing plant ranged from 71.0 to > 85.0%, consistent with gold recoveries observed in previous bulk samples. In addition, approximately 675 tonnes of "lower grade" mineralized rock containing approximately 4.8 gpt gold has been stockpiled for future processing. Since the inception of the test mining program, PPX has mined over 6,282 tonnes of mineralized material from the previously defined Inferred Resource at Mina Callanquitas. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company has contracted with mining engineering specialists to develop a detailed mine plan and schedule to be utilized in the company's Mina Callanquitas Prefeasibility Study ("PFS"). The consultants are designing stope layouts and selecting extraction methods to be utilized when the bulk sampling rate reaches 150 tonnes per day late in 2017. It is important for the Company to evaluate the stoping methods under real-life mining conditions, i.e. 150 tonnes/day, in order to evaluate mining costs and suitability for future production in the PFS. The Company has also retained a mining engineer to document rock mechanics and ground control methodologies, also for use in the PFS. The PFS is expected to be completed early in 2018.
