VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 25, 2011) - Canasia Industries Corporation ("Canasia" and the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CAJ)(PINK SHEETS:CANSF)(FRANKFURT:45C) is pleased to announce that it has been informed by the operator that the assays have been received for the 102 one-ton lots comprising the 2011 bulk sample from the Clone property, situated 12 miles southeast of Stewart, British Columbia. The average for the 102 tons is 4.0 oz/ton gold or 137.1 g/t gold.
Metallurgical tests are currently under way which will examine cyanide, flotation and gravity means for winning the gold from the ore. Once the optimum method has been determined, the bulk sample will be shipped to a suitable mill for processing.
This year's bulk sample contains 408 ounces of gold, which when added to the 68 ounces collected in the 2010 bulk sample (34 tons at 2.0 oz/ton gold), amounts to 476 ounces in total. The Company anticipates receiving the revenue from the gold sales in 2012.
