JZR Gold Reports up to 130 G/T Gold In Concentrate, Confirms Proof of Concept at Vila Nova Project, Brazil
“Proof‑of‑Concept assay hits 130 g/t Au, unlocking high‑grade concentrate upside for Vila Nova.”

Executive Summary
- On 9 Apr 2026 JZR Gold announced bulk‑sampling mill concentrate assays up to 130 g/t Au from tailings at the Vila Nova Project (Brazil).
- The results are a proof‑of‑concept, confirming that gold can be recovered as a high‑grade concentrate.
- JZR holds a 50 % Net Profit Interest (NPI) in the project under its Joint‑Venture Royalty Agreement (JVRA) with ECO Mining.
- Management will now focus on optimising plant performance and pursuing initial concentrate sales after the May 2026 rainy season.
- The company cautions that samples are selective and not yet representative of the whole tailings stockpile; further systematic sampling is required.
Material Impact
- Positive materiality: The assay grade (130 g/t) far exceeds typical bulk‑sampling results for tailings‑recovery projects and validates the economic premise of Vila Nova.
- Market expectation vs. reality: Prior updates (Oct 2025 – Oct 2026) only confirmed first concentrate production; no quantitative grade was disclosed. The new high‑grade figure is a genuine surprise, likely to lift near‑term sentiment.
- Risk considerations: Sample selectivity and lack of a defined resource keep upside uncertain. If subsequent bulk tests confirm similar grades, revenue potential rises sharply; if not, the impact could be muted.
