SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Sunergy, Inc (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received further analytical results on its Pampana (Sierra Leone, West Africa) Heavy Mineral Sands. Using lower analytical detection units than previous tests at Currenta's analytical laboratory in Leverkusen, Germany, we have discovered that the sands contain potential economic quantities of Silver, Platinum and Palladium, in addition to the known Gold and Rare Earth Elements.
This discovery warrants a more sophisticated initial process/separation treatment in what was previously thought to be an initial solution targeted at free gold. In addition to the free gold, there is substantial contained gold in the sands that require more advanced separation techniques than those proposed in our June 2, 2011 Press Release.
These new tests and results have been overseen by Alexander Beckmann, our Advisory Board Member from Cologne, Germany (See Press Release dated 8/8 2011). Mr. Beckmann comments: "These results are some of the strongest that I am aware of for alluvial sands. I suspected that the PGM metals may exist but we had no support from the previous analytical work. Lowering the detection limits and requesting the specific PGM (Platinum Group Metals) tests allowed these and other precious metals (Silver) to reveal themselves. The quantitative results have ranged from 4 to the mid 100's for Palladium, the mid 10's for Platinum and 170 ppm for Gold except for Silver which is in the range of several hundred ppm (1 ppm = 1 gram/ ton). Analytical testing is ongoing and results will be published once enough material has been tested to give representative results."
