CABORCA, SONORA STATE, MEXICO, October 30th, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mexus Gold US (OTCQB: MXSG)(“Mexus” or the “Company”) announced that it has completed the construction of an additional Merrill Crowe gold recovery plant at its shop in Walnut Grove, CA. This now makes two Merrill Crowe gold recovery plants to be in operation at the Santa Elena Mine. The equipment was built as recommended by gold recovery expert Robert Garcia of Auric Metallurgical Resources. Mr. Garcia used a similar system in Nevada with excellent results and anticipates the same for the Santa Elena Mine. This newly designed plant uses 4 automated D.E.filter units (diatomaceous earth) in place of the typical filter presses. The filters in these units take approximately 10 minutes to remove and clean leaving the other 3 filters to continue catching gold and silver. Mexus’ conservative estimate of 1 gram per ton gold should allow the company to produce 25 plus oz. AU per day. Mexus geologist, Cesar Lemas, states that recent assays show 2.9 grams per ton AU and 4 times that in silver. These figures would produce a much higher daily return for the company. The equipment is to be shipped to the Santa Elena Mine and be in production by the 2nd week of November.
Our JV Partner, MarMar Holdings, continues to work diligently to correct the current Merrill Crowe recovery plant at the Santa Elena mine. MarMar brought in experts to review the system and have made corrections. The activated carbon and electro winning recovery plants are showing improved results. In the end, Mexus will use all working recovery systems as we build the mine out.
Mexus CEO Paul Thompson added, “MarMar and Mexus continue to work as a team towards full production at the Santa Elena mine. Having multiple gold recovery systems will be a win for everyone as production increases to 10,000 tons a day and more.”
