LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Jan 19, 2012) - Crowne Ventures, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ CRWV ]) announced today that, since resuming its operations at the Gallo de Oro Gold Mine following the traditionally-long holiday season in Mexico, it has been able to crush approximately 130 tons of test material to 3/4 minus in size. The cross-representative flotation assay samples on this stockpile showed 3.136 ounces of gold and 1.28 ounces of silver per ton, or roughly an 89% recovery capability of the fire assay.

Currently, the Company does not have the on-site capability to utilize production-sized equipment to crush the test material to the point of total liberation. To do so, the Company is in negotiations with flotation mills to contract for future production.

The Company is also testing a cyanide heap leach to evaluate the potential recovery values against those capable with flotation. Due to the presence of "electrum" (gold and silver mixed in a metallic form called "free gold"), a further gravity concentration may be needed for maximum ore recoveries.
