Blackheath Resources Inc. (TSXV:BHR) announced the results of a test mining pit sampling program of eluvial surface gravels at the Portugal-based Bejanca tin-tungsten project.
 
The company is already planning more work at Bejanca, including further sampling, metallurgical testwork and detailed processing and production methods for the eluvial material.
 
Highlights are as follows:
 
Most of the values are in tin in the area tested
42% of the pits showed values greater than 400 ppm Sn (tin), and
Showed an average content of 792 ppm Sn, and
Contained an average of 35% fine sand containing 1,551 ppm Sn (1.6kg/t)
Sporadic tungsten values ranged between 10ppm and up to 1,463ppm WO3
The Bejanca eluvial surface area was increased by approximately 40% compared to the historical Lynton Report (see news release November 20, 2013)
Alexander Langer, president and CEO of Blackheath, commented:
 
This is a very exciting opportunity for Blackheath Resources. For a minimal capital outlay, we believe these eluvials could be processed into a saleable concentrate. We will continue further work at Bejanca including a test processing plant in partnership with a local university in Portugal. A production decision has not been made at this time, but could be forthcoming with further positive work.
