Ireland Inc., provided an update on the technical program at the Columbus Project, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Ireland’s technical team continues to refine its concentrating and smelting process to extract precious metals from the Columbus Project sands. Initial work completed on 1.0 kg (2.2 lbs.) samples has now moved to larger scale testing of 100 kg (220 lbs.). A third party independent technical team will complete the processing of materials in this next round of testing. When the results are delivered to the Company, the Company will provide another more detailed public update. This testing is expected to be completed by the end of October.
