“I wish to thank the owners of the concessions for granting the extension of the option agreement and continuing strong support” said Brian Robertson, President and CEO of Source. “The extension, in conjunction with our previously announced proposed private placement and planned drilling program, will provide additional time for us to advance the property and complete a mineral resource estimate.”
Mexus Gold US along with its JV partner MarMar recently decided that the best option for gold recovery at the Santa Elena mine will be a Merrill Crowe system. The decision to use this system instead of Electrowinning was made in part because a Merrill Crowe system will allow Mexus the opportunity to scale the recovery plant as production increases. Mexus now plans to ship a 400-600gpm Merrill Crowe plant from its Walnut Grove shop to the Santa Elena mine site. This plant was purchased by Mexus in 2014 and had been readied for use when needed. The recovery plant has been disassembled, loaded, and is ready to be shipped around November 27th.

Managing Director Will Dix commented the new intersections to the south of our modelled mineralisation continue to support the Companys view that significant base metal resources exist down dip and down plunge of the mine development. These new results will be incorporated into our initial resource estimate due out next month and provide additional targets for immediate follow up. This and the recent regional exploration results have provided the impetus for a re-think on capital management and the decision to focus our cash in the ground rather than accelerating the restructure of the project ownership at this time.
