Bayhorse Silver Installs Its Steinert Ore-Sorter At Its Bayhorse Flotation Mill, Payette, Idaho, USA
Bayhorse Silver Inc, (BHS: TSX -V, BHSIF: OTCQB, 7KXN: FRANKFURT) (the “Company” or
“Bayhorse”) reports that the Company’s Steinter Ore-Sorter(“Sorter”) has been returned from its 22
month rental to Canadian Critical Minerals Inc (”Critical”) and has been installed at the Company’s
60ton/day flotation mill in Payette, Idaho.
During the rental period, Critical relied upon the Sorter to generate revenue from upgrading their
existing 180,000 ton copper/silver/gold stockpile at its Bull River Mine to a preconcentrate that was
then shipped to the New Afton Mill for processing. The Company has received gross rental revenue
totaling approximately US$718,000 from the rental to Critical.
The Company has opted to install the Sorter at its Mill so it can be used for third party processing and
potential revenue generation while the Bayhorse Mine permitting is completed
The Bayhorse Silver Mine mineralization is primarily tetrahedrite, which is an antimony sulfide of
silver, copper, iron and zinc in veins and stockworks with minor gold present Using its Ore -Sorter,
the Company has conducted significant testing, and found it very effectively separates the vein
mineralization from the surrounding rhyolite/andesite host rock, reducing the mined tonnage by as
much as 75% or more, depending upon grade. During its 1984 mining program, Silver King Mines
reported 21% of the Bayhorse mined grades were from 20 oz/t to 100 oz/t, 73% of the mined grades
were between 6 oz/t and 20 oz/t, with 6% being under 6 oz/t, that was the cut off grade at that time.
Upto 10 g/t gold was also reported by Silver King Mines The Company is using these historic averages
as a guide in its mining program when permitted (BHS2022-05).
The tetrahedrite, which is refractory in nature , is to be processed at the Company’s 60 ton/day
flotation mill. Metallurgical testing of the Bayhorse mineralization by Metsolve Labs, Langley, BC, has
indicated a typical concentrate will range between 7,500 -12,000 g/t silver 9- 11% copper, 10- 12%
antimony and 15-18% zinc. With silver now added to copper, antimony and zinc as “critical minerals”
in the United States by the United States Geological Service, the Company has been researching
means to separate each of the minerals from its flotation concentrate as value added extras,
especially antimony, as a 55% concentrate is currently quoted at US$8.51/lb on the Shanghai Metals
Exchange.

Recent news from America’s Gold and Silver, (AGS) Galena Mine in Idaho’s “Silver Valley” which has
similar “tetrahedrite” (silver, copper, antimony) mineralization to the Bayhorse Silver Mine, has
reported that after submitting their mineralization to SGS Laboratories for metallurgical testing for
optimum recoveries, the tests showed significant recoveries of silver/antimony/copper . T he
subsequent flotation concentrate was leached by Allihies Engineering Inc. (“Allihies”) using its
proprietary, selective industrial Alkaline Selective Leaching ( “ASL”) hydrometallurgical technology,
that confirmed very high extraction rates of antimony are possible.
The Company is investigating the Allihies process to see if it can be incorporated into its Mill to extract
the silver/antimony/copper/zinc from its flotation concentrate and unlock their individual values.
Bayhorse CEO Graeme O’Neill comments , “ the Company has conducted significant research into
using the “Sunshine Leaching Process” that was used at the historic Sunshine Silver Mine, Kellogg,
Idaho that reportedly achieved antimony leach separation recoveries of up to 87%, however, Allihies
confirms up to 99% leaching recovery using its proprietary, selective industrial ASL hydrometallurgical
technology. Once the antimony is leached from the tetrahedrite, the gold, silver, copper, and zinc
becomes available for refining into their pure metal form.
Cautionary statement
The Company is not basing any decision to produce on a feasibility study of mineral reserves
demonstrating economic and technical viability and advises there is an increased uncertainty and
specific economic and technical risk of failure with any productio n decision. These risks include, but
are not limited to, (i) a drop in price of commodities produced, namely silver, copper, lead and zinc,
from the pricing used to make a production decision; (ii) failure of grades of the produced material to
fall within the parameters used to make the production decision; (iii) an increase in mining costs due
to changes within the mine during development and mining procedures; and (iv) metallurgical
recovery changes that cannot be anticipated at the time of production.

About Bayhorse Silver Inc.
Bayhorse Silver Inc. is an exploration and production company with a 100% interest in the historic
Bayhorse Silver Mine located in Oregon, USA with a National Instrument 43-101 inferred resource of
292,300 tons at a grade of 21.65 opt (673 g/t) for 6.3 million ounces of silver. (Turner et al. 2018)
and the Pegasus Project, in Washington County, Idaho. The Bayhorse Silver Mine and the Pegasus
Project are 44 km southwest of Hercules Metals’ porphyry copper discovery. The Bayhorse Mine is a
minimum environmental impact facility capable of processing at a mining rate up 200 tons/day that
includes a state of the art 40 ton per hour Steinert Ore -Sorter that reduces waste rock entering the
processing stream by up to 85%. The Company has established an up to 60 ton/day mill and standard
flotation processing facility in nearby Payette County, Idaho, USA with an offtake agreement in place
with Ocean Partners UK Limited. The Company has an experienced management and technical team
with extensive mining expertise in both exploration and building mines.
