PPX CONFIRMS OUTSTANDING METALLURGICAL TEST RESULTS ON
HOLE CA-24-07
Toronto – April 09, 2024 - PPX Mining Corp. (the “C ompany” or “PPX”) is pleased to announce the
results of test work carried out by BaseMet Laboratories, Kamloops, BC, Canada; carried out on the drill core
obtained from drill hole CA-24-07, previously reported.
As indicated on March 07, 2024, two intercepts were reported, one of an oxidized breccia with grades of 12.05
g/t gold and 300.9 g/t silver, over the 5.25 meters of drill intercept; and a second, of a sulfated vein with grades
of 10.3 g/t gold, 1670 g/t silver and 4% copper, ov er 9.2 meters of drill intercept. The oxidized bre ccia was
tested using a carbon in leach process, while the sulfated sample was tested using flotation.
The oxidized breccia was leached for 48 hours, recovering 92.2 % of the gold and 87.5% of the silver, with a
cyanide and lime consumption of 1.6 and 3.9 kg/t, r espectively. These results are similar to, but some what
higher, than the ones obtained previously with the breccia samples. The calculated grade of the materi al
leached was 13.4 g/t, similar to the reported from assaying the drill core.
The sulfated vein material was treated using froth flotation, using potassium amyl xanthate as collect or and
MIBC as frother, the same reagents used in previous test work and those that will be used in the plann ed
processing plant. Recovery of gold and silver to co ncentrate were excellent, achieving 97.1% and 94.8%
respectively, with 96.1% of the copper reporting to the concentrate which had grades of 22.2 g/t gold, 3558
g/t silver and 7.8% copper. The calculated grades o f the feed to flotation was again similar to the as sayed
grade of the drill core.
Dr. John Thomas, CEO of PPX Mining commented, “thes e excellent results confirm the high value of the
material intercepted in hole CA-24-07 and validate the production units of the plant that the Company is
planning to build. These results also reaffirm the high priority to continue drilling this zone with the objective
of establishing a reserve of this material”.

is pursuing a two-pronged strategy to further devel op and explore Project Igor. The Callanquitas struc ture is
open along strike and at depth. Parallel structures have not yet been explored. The new discoveries in
Portachuelos in 2018, as well as the exploration ta rgets in Domo and Tesoros, show that the Igor Proje ct is
becoming a district-scale project with multiple dep osits and mineralized zones. Evaluating mineral
development alternatives in parallel with explorati on drilling will provide dual catalysts for growth and
increased shareholder value.
