Canada Silver Cobalt Works (CCW) begins testing high-grade tailings from the Beaver and Castle mine in four weeks.

Testing will commence once the gravity pilot plant is complete.

The gravity pilot plant is closed loop with a water recycle step, which is a two-stage gravity process.

The plant is designed to operate at one tonne per hour of high-grade silver tailings.

Canada Silver Cobalt currently owns two of the three known high-grade silver stamp mill tailings in its camp.

Beaver mine tailings were drilled by the company last year with silver grades from 314 to 14 grams per tonne.

The tailings of high-grade silver ore were hand-cobbed from the mines and lower grade ore was processed by crushing the rock with stamps.

Banks of stamps were lined up into one line in the machine and were lifted by cams and then dropped onto the silver ore.

Water was the only other requirement that was used in the process.

A simple and effective process was used in that time to recover the high-grade native silver.

The limitation of the process is that it cannot recover the silver in sulphides, which is the portion which the gravity pilot plant will potentially recover.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (CCW) is down 2.50 per cent and is trading at $0.195 per share as of 4:30 p.m. EST.
