CARSON CITY, Nev., December 12th, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mexus Gold US (OTCQB:MXSG)(“Mexus” or the “Company”) and its JV partner MarMar determined in November that a Merrill Crowe plant would be the best recovery system at the expanded Santa Elena mine. The Merrill Crowe plant to be used was loaded and shipped from Walnut Grove, CA. The plant cleared customs on December 8th and will arrive at the mine site December 12th. As previously stated the assembly of the plant is not complicated and should be fully operational in January 2017. The added time and effort to import a Merrill Crowe plant will be well worth it in terms of production.
MarMar is in the process of delivering a 42inch jaw crusher to the mine site. This powerful high capacity plant will prove invaluable and will meet the needs of the mine for the foreseeable future. In addition, MarMar has hired an expert in Merrill Crowe systems. The new hire’s ultimate responsibility will be to ensure efficient precipitation of Gold and Silver at the mine.
Added CEO Paul Thompson, “Our mine plan is progressing and continues to evolve and grow as our JV partner builds the site out for maximum production. We’ve made adjustments as deemed necessary. While these improvements to the mine are pushing the start of production the changes will mean a larger and more profitable mine.”
