TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 10, 2021 / Murchison Minerals Ltd. ("Murchison" or the "Company") (TSXV:MUR) is pleased to announce the results from preliminary metallurgical testing on core samples collected from its 100%-owned Brabant-McKenzie Zn-Cu-Ag Deposit located in north-central Saskatchewan, Canada. The results indicate that a simple flotation test using a coarse grind with a rougher and scavenger circuit was able to upgrade the zinc grade from 9.13% to 27% with a 98% recovery. A further 4-stage cleaner flotation test resulted in a zinc concentrate of 50.2% with an 85.06% recovery. The recycling of cleaner tails is expected to result in an overall net zinc recovery of at least 90%. Precious metals were concentrated in the 4th stage cleaner tail material with a grade of 180 g/t silver and 1.13 g/t gold.
Excellent results for copper recovery were also achieved with the simple rougher and scavenger flotation test increasing the grade to 2.19% with 92.9% recovery and the 4-stage cleaner flotation resulting in a grade of 4.12% with a 74.7% recovery. These preliminary results are highly-encouraging and it is assumed they can be improved through further optimization.
Murchison CEO, Jean-Charles Potvin, comments, "The initial results from metallurgical testing are extremely positive and we are very pleased that simple grinding and flotation using commonly available reagents, are able to produce a high-grade and clean concentrate with high recoveries, this will help immensely with the deposit's economics having a very simple flowsheet, minimizing CAPEX and OPEX."
Results of 4-stage Cleaner Flotation
To view this piece of content from www.accesswire.com, please give your consent at the top of this page.The metallurgical work was conducted by the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on 40.52 kilograms of massive to semi-massive sulphide submitted to the laboratory on April 22nd, 2021. The sulphide samples consisted of half-core from a single drill hole BM21-004 over a 15.35 metre interval from the approximate center of the deposit. The samples were crushed and homogenized, and the homogenized material assayed 9.13% zinc, 0.84% copper, 0.13% lead, 38.4 g/t silver and 0.074 g/t gold.
QEMSCAN Analysis
The sample material was analyzed by QEMSCAN which identifies the mineral phases present with the results indicating the material contains 47% sulphide minerals. The dominant sulphides present are pyrrhotite (30.86%), sphalerite (14.17%), chalcopyrite (1.77%) and pyrite (0.19%). It was determined that 98.03% of the zinc in the sample is hosted by sphalerite with the remaining 1.97% hosted by gahnite. The remaining 41% of the sample mass is composed of feldspar, quartz, pyroxene, and amphiboles.

Work was also completed using both magnetic separation and gravity separation. The early magnetic separation work was positive by being able to remove 13% - 14% of the crushed material as nonmagnetic fraction containing 0.2% - 0.3% zinc. Heavy-liquid separation showed positive results in extracting some of the gangue material. Further work using magnetic separation and gravity separation as well as x-ray sorting will be further explored to analyze its viability to aid in removing the amount of gangue material prior to floatation.

Innodata Releases the First Stage of Its AI Cyber Training Suite to Enable AI Coding Agents to Write - and Repair - Secure Code4.8.2026 14:30:00 CEST | Press release
Twelve datasets and evaluation systems, built by hand from thousands of real-world security flaws, give model builders and enterprises a proven way to keep AI-generated code from introducing vulnerabilities. NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2026 / INNODATA INC. (Nasdaq:INOD) today released the first stage of its AI Cyber Training Suite - twelve datasets and evaluation systems that train AI coding agents to write code that avoids known security flaws, to avoid introducing new ones, and to patch existing vulnerabilities in the software companies already run. The suite addresses what has become a central barrier to trusting AI-written code: the risk that an agent, while adding a feature or modernizing a legacy system, quietly opens a security hole. The AI Cyber Training Suite works across the stack of coding agents - the models, the harnesses, and the tools - to help ensure the code they produce is not just functional, but secure. It is available to model builders and enterprise
