Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation announced breakthrough results from the initial gravimetric concentration test work as part of the program to enhance the already high-recoveries at Santa Ana. This phase of testing has proven the effective recovery of silver and gold through mechanical gravimetric processes before conventional flotation. Sample Preparation and Initial Tests: Outcrop Silver has advanced its metallurgical test work by preparing four core sample composites using coarse laboratory rejects.

Two samples were taken from each vein: samples POR-01 and POR-02 from the La Porfia vein and samples PAR-01 and PAR-02 from the Paraiso vein. Each composite weighed approximately 50 kilograms, and represented two metallurgical domains: high-grade and low-grade. The high-grade composites represent the average grade in the ore-shoot, while the low-grade represents Outcrop Silver's "significant result" threshold.

Locked Cycle Flotation Tests: The results of the final locked cycle flotation metallurgical balance for sample PAR-02 demonstrated exceptional recovery rate, achieving 97.14% for gold and 92.85% for silver. This process produced a high-grade concentrate grading of 128.74 grams per tonne of gold and 9,488 grams per tonne of silver. Gravimetric Concentration Tests: The latest phase of metallurgical work involved conducting gravimetric concentration tests on the PAR-02 sample from the Paraiso vein as part of continued efforts to enhance overall metal recoveries at Santa Ana.

These tests were performed at SGS Metallurgical Services Peru utilizing a Falcon Gravity Concentrator. The resulting gravimetric concentrate demonstrated high grades and recoveries, with gold assaying at 164.12 g/t and achieving a recovery rate of 30.52%. Additionally, silver assayed 2,883 g/t with a recovery of 7.3%, while the sulfur recovery was 6.44%.

These results indicate the concentration of native silver and electrum, highlighting the potential to improve the metallurgical efficiency of the Santa Ana project. Tails from the gravimetric concentration test will be processed further using conventional flotation, accounting for 92.7% of silver and 69.48% of gold. The mineralogical characterization from Santa Ana has revealed that 88% of the silver is present as argentite, a silver sulfide.

This finding suggests the potential for an increase in the overall recovery of silver when combining gravimetric concentration with conventional flotation methods.
