North Bay Resources Announces Successful Flotation Cell Test at Bishop Gold Mill, Inyo County, California

Bishop, CA -- June 27, 2024 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- North Bay Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "North Bay") (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce completion of flooding and operational testing of flotation cells and frothing  equipment  at  the  Bishop  Gold  Mill  (the  "Mill").   The  flotation  cells  are  used  in combination with frothing reagents to separate gold and sulphides from host rock.  After, grinding in the jaw crusher and ball mill into a fine powder, the ore is soaked in a hydrophobic reagent and then moved into the flotation cells where a frothing reagent is added creating bubbles.  The gold and sulphides adhere to the bubbles that ascend to the top of the cells where they are scooped into a tray below.  This gold concentrate is then dried and refined into gold bars.  

Mill Feedstock

The Company has received assays from its Fran Gold Join Venture confirming 0.5 troy ounce per ton material from surface (see Press Release dated June 18, 2024) and has targeted an initial 5,000 tons of material for test processing or approximately 2,500 troy ounces of gold.  Metallurgical analyses are currently underway to determine composition and make-up of material including final grind and confirmation of efficacy of selected frothing agent and flocculent in the flotation cells.  The Company continues to review gold mine acquisitions and joint ventures throughout the Western US and Canada and is committed to acquiring ounces in the ground in support of the Bishop Mill and any future expansion that may occur.
