HUNT Mining Receives Positive Metallurgical Test Results FOR Flagship LA Josefina GOLD / Silver Project
HUNT MINING RECEIVES POSITIVE METALLURGICAL TEST RESULTS FOR
FLAGSHIP LA JOSEFINA GOLD / SILVER PROJECT
Liberty Lake, Washington, February 14, 2018 – Hunt Mining Corp. (the “ Corporation ” or
“Hunt ”) (TSX VENTURE: “HMX” OTC: “HMXZF”) is pleased to announce the receipt of
metallurgical test results on material from the Ail in vein located on the La Josefina Gold / Silver
Project. The La Josefina Project is located approxi mately 110 km north of the Corporation’s 100%
owned Martha mine and mill (“Martha Project”) which has been in operation since early 2017
producing high grade silver and gold concentrate. A ilin ore is planned to be treated in the Martha
mill in the future.
Hunt commissioned testing on high, medium, and low- grade material from the Ailin vein to
evaluate the flotation response to procedures plann ed to be implemented in the Martha mill. Vein
material stemmed from surface trenches, drillholes and grab samples. They were visually separated
into the three grade categories and analyzed at the testing facilities. No additional external QAQC
procedures were applied. Testing was conducted at t he GEOMET Spa. laboratory in Santiago,
Chile under the supervision of Hunt’s Martha mill manager, and at the Resource Development Inc.
(“RDI”) facilities in Denver, Colorado. Both GEOMET Spa. And RDI are arm’s length to Hunt
Mining.
Results from these tests are as follows:
Grade and Laboratory Calc. Head Grade Recovery % Concentrate Grade
Au g/t Ag g/t Au Ag Au g/t Ag g/t
High grade RDI 67. 9 32.4 84.5 58.9 1,569 52 2
Medium grade RDI 45.2 23.3 81.8 51.7 80 2 263
Low grade GEOMET 19.1 43.4 82.1 25.5 316 223
Hunt is extremely pleased with the test results fro m RDI and GEOMET and will be proceeding
with an in-plant bulk test at its Martha mill in th e first half of 2018. Upon completion of the in-
plant bulk test, a determination will be made on th e future processing of material from the Ailin
vein.
Ongoing production at the Martha Project is being u ndertaken without established mineral
resources or reserves and the Corporation has not e stablished the economic viability of the
operations on the Martha Project. As a result, there is increased uncertainty and economic risks of
failure associated with these production activities . However, a NI 43-101 compliant technical
report from 2010 exists for the La Josefina project with Measured, Indicated and Inferred
resources. The Ailin vein is part of this resource estimate.
Klaus Triebel, Hunt Mining's director of project de velopment, is the qualified person under
National Instrument 43-101 who has approved the tec hnical and scientific aspects of this press
release.
