BBX Minerals Confirms “excellent” bioleaching tests at Três Estados, Brazil

• BBX Minerals (BBX) confirms “excellent” bioleaching testwork results on a composite sample from a drill hole at its Três Estados gold project in Brazil
• The test showed a “significant” increase in five-element (5E) precious metals following the bioleaching process compared to previous assays from the same drill hole
• However, BBX says the results may not be indicative of the overall mineral resource estimate mineralisation, and additional work is required on composites above and below this zone
• Pilot plant testing of the remaining sample will begin between Christmas and New Year’s and take several weeks before more results are released
