VANCOUVER, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –VICTORY RESOURCES CORPORATION (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received assay results of preliminary sampling of material from the old tailings pond from the La Reforma mine located north of Choix, Sinaloa State, Mexico. The method of sampling the results are shown in Table 1.
Due to the elevated values of silver in the tailings ranging from 4.20 ppm to a high of 60.8 ppm as well as some high values of zinc, the company will evaluate the old tailings deposit to determine the feasibility of re-processing the material. The evaluation will include mineralogical and metallurgical studies. A grid-controlled detailed sampling on 10-metre centres using a sand-coring tool will commence upon completion of a topographic survey. The tailings deposit is loosely consolidated and would require only light equipment such as backhoes and front end loaders for material handling.
