Elizabeth,

I understand that the main mineralization at Alamo Dorado is a secondary mineral named cerargyrite (AgCl), a silver chloride. This mineral is apparently very common and is found on surface of most silver/gold epithermal deposit. At Alamo Dorado it is the main constituant and hold the fine silver. This mineral is non-refractory and liberates the silver easily. The surrounding rocks are heavily oxidized and porous.

Recoveries in various test have been between 67% and 97% for the silver. The high recoveries have been obtained from bottle roll test using samples from the RC drill holes. More tests will be needed to determine the optimized crushing size and resultant average recovery rate.

All I know for the moment.
