Eldora Gold Resources Set to Showcase Gravsep™ at Upcoming Pdac Conference in Canada
(Toronto) – Held annually in Toronto, the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) produces the world’s leading convention and trade show for the mineral exploration industry.
Eldora Gold Resources Launches GravSep™; Process Set to Rehabilitate Tailings Sites
Eldora Gold proudly announces it has completed the assembly of its premiere pilot plant, dubbed GravSep™, to assist with the extensive process testing phase. With GravSep™ on site, Eldora will use a combination of physical separation processes to extract a concentrate from the first selected mill tailings site in Kirkland Lake, Canada. This concentrate will contain the majority of the recoverable metallic values in these former tailings, as well as the majority of the minerals responsible for the adverse environmental consequences of the original tailings disposal.
The proprietary process includes the preparation of a recirculating water pond, whereby final tailing separation from pulping water will provide recirculating water for pulping fresh feed, thus no continuous use of fresh water is required. After pulping the excavated feed and pumping the pulp through the physical separation process, Eldora anticipates ultimately discharging a tailing material in a form suitable for environmental rehabilitation of the site.
Eldora Gold anticipates, based on initial testing, that the auspicious debut (1/2 tonne per hour) of GravSep™ will result in not only the recovery of valued minerals, but also the rehabilitation of former tailings sites. Given the assembly of its portable equipment, Eldora intends to provide a dual benefit from the operation of GravSep™ units: by marketing the resultant concentrate into suitable channels and also providing a low-energy green solution to mining communities.
The GravSep™ is designed to be scalable, and is suited for small deposits less than 300,000 tonnes that cannot support permanent high capital cost equipment installations. The anticipated advantages for Eldora’s proprietary environmentally-friendly physical separation processing, which can be tailored to each specific deposit, now include potential for successful treatment and rehabilitation for many smaller size deposits using simple to maintain and operate equipment, as well as chemical-free processing. Pumping is the single major energy input, and it extracts and recovers valuable mineral concentrates which also have significant deleterious environmental effects when left in-situ.
From an environmental standpoint, tailings have always been an unwanted byproduct of mining. These tailings are left in piles and potentially leach environmentally-destructive materials into the surrounding soil and groundwater. Processing tailings thus also reduces the negative environmental impact of remaining minerals from the original mining process.

Brazilian Gold Mine Update: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Ensurge Announces Progress on Engineering Scoping Study of Brazilian Gold Mine
Brazilian Gold Mine Update: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21
/PRNewswire/ -- Ensurge, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ESGI.OB) is pleased that the Engineering Scoping Study of the Nova Esparanza Mineraco (NME) project is underway. Jordan Estra, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ensurge, Inc. reported on the project following a visit to Brazil during mid October.
A team of geologists and drillers is currently at the NME Tuiuiu Mine, about 100 kilometers southwest of the State Capital of Cuiaba. Drilling and sampling of the tailings stockpiles has been underway for about two weeks. It is estimated that an additional four weeks will be required to complete the drilling and sampling program.
Crews are auger drilling the tailings stockpiles on 40 meter centers to a depth which is the base of the tailings, approximately 25 meters. Samples are taken every one meter of depth in each drill hole. The drilling and sampling program was designed and is being supervised by Amazon GeoServices of Belo Horizonte, Minera Gias, Brazil.
It is estimated that approximately 1,500 samples will be taken from the tailings stockpiles and theses will be assayed by Bureau Veritas of Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. In addition, metallurgical testwork and gold recovery process development will be completed by G&T Group of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada and MQes, Inc. of San Francisco, California, USA.
Brazilian Gold Mine Update: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Once the drilling and sampling is completed, in about four weeks time (end of November), an additional two weeks will be required to complete the assaying of samples, or mid-December. Metallurgical test work and gold recovery process development is likely to be completed by the end of January 2011. At that time, Ensurge will be able to make a decision on the NME project.
Other Projects
Ensurge is currently evaluating the potential of investing in producing gold mines, along with mines that only have tailings stockpiles. The Company is in preliminary discussions with property owners and if successful, Ensurge would try to achieve operating agreements to provide capital and technology to recover gold in exchange for significant percentage participation from the operations. All mines under review are in the area of Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Also, he played key senior management role in progressing these deposits through feasibility studies to production. Mr. Buck also played key senior advisory roles in indigenous relations in Australia, LionOre's African operations and new business development. During this period Mr. Buck was also a non-Executive Director with Gallery Resources (now IAMGOLD), and Breakaway Resources.
In 2006, Mr. Buck played a key role in managing the divestment of a large portion of LionOre's nickel exploration portfolio into Breakaway Resources. Following this transaction, Mr. Buck became the Managing Director and CEO of Breakaway. In 2009 Mr. Buck left Breakaway to pursue other professional and personal interests.
Mr. Buck is currently Vice President of The Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) and a Board Member of the Centre for Exploration Targeting established at the University of Western Australia and Curtin University.
Mr. Ashton has been involved in the exploration, consulting, financing and development of international resource projects since 1972. Most recently in his capacity as Managing Director and subsequently Chair of Red Back Mining Inc., Mr. Ashton was responsible for identifying the prospectivity and leading the team which discovered the multi million ounce Chirano gold deposit in Ghana. In 2004 Mr. Ashton re-domiciled Red Back from the ASX to the TSX with a new Canadian CEO, management and board. In 2005 Mr. Ashton resigned as Red Back Chair. In September, 2010 Red Back, as a +400,000 ounce per year gold producer, was the subject of a merger with Kinross Gold Corporation which valued that company at US$7.1B.
Mr. Ashton is a Non Executive Director of Brockman Resources Limited, an ASX listed iron ore explorer/developer with a market cap of ~$500 million.
With the appointment of Messrs. Buck and Ashton to the Board of PMI Gold, subject to and following the proposed Australian co-listing, Mr. Len Dennis will resign as a board member but will remain with the Company as a consultant.
On behalf of the Board,
"Douglas R. MacQuarrie"

Eldora Gold Resources Canada News: Update on Mining - About PMI Gold. Mining analysts have recently stated that West Africa will soon become the World's second largest gold producing region after China, with Ghana by far the largest gold producer in West Africa. PMI Gold controls four previous operating mines on 85 kilometres of Ghana's major gold belts all located near the centre of near 200 million ounces of historical gold production and current resources. Our Kubi Gold Project (NI43-101 mineral resource estimate of 604,000 ounces @3.66 g/t gold Indicated; 315,000 ounces @1.88 g/t gold Inferred, see SEDAR) adjoins the 60 million ounce AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi mine, the largest underground mine in West Africa with a 113 year, continuous mining history. At Obotan, where previous mining yielded 730,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 2.2 g/t, we recently announced a maiden +1 million ounce gold mineral resource estimate, and the commencement of an aggressive drilling campaign.
