Initial results of gold recovery testing conducted by Norris Lab of Norris, Montana utilizing cyanide has yielded results on ore from Dutch Gold Resources joint venture partner in Nicaragua.

Initial head assays of the oxide ore were 0.548 ounce per ton (opt) gold and 0.33 opt silver. Calculated heads for the ore based on actual test recoveries were 0.6 opt gold and 0.4 opt silver. Assays of the leached ore tails were 0.012 opt gold and 0.14 opt silver, indicating a 98% recovery of the gold and a 65.25% recovery of the silver.

Cyanide consumption for the testing was a very modest 1.5 pounds per ton.
