LITHIA, Fla., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — American International Ventures, Inc. (OTC: AIVN), announces further plans to develop its Baja California project “The Motherlode” through its newly organized Mexican subsidiary company, AIVN de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (the “Company”). The Company has successfully obtained access and property rights, plus a mining concession at the El Alamo mining district and will finish road and plant construction for production startup on approximately 30 hectares or 67.5 acres of prime leased mining property, 10 of which was recently leased by the Company and the other 20 hectares is being lease optioned to purchase for three years from the current owner who has already granted the Company access to the mining site.
AIVN’s mining attorney in Ensenada, BC, Ruben Reyes, has secured the “Motherlode” concession for the Company in the El Alamo mining district, that dates back to 1900, which has a 320′ adit running into the mountain side, where the richest vein was mined until the death of its owner Eduardo Boullosa Sr.
This concession, known as Lion Head Mountain, has been handed down through three generations of miners in the Boullosa family and is now the main focus of extraction and recovery of the newly formed Mexican Company. The vein system rests in the middle of the El Alamo gold trend that historically produced 200,000 ounces at the turn of the 20th century and this mine also constantly produced 1 to 2 ounces of gold per ton from its ore.
The Company’s planned pilot program is the first stage to prepare and complete a pre-feasibility study while permitting its full mining operation which is planned to begin after the environmental study has been completed. The Company’s Geologist will use the SKY RAY XRF ex ray spectrometer analysis technology for assays at the site, in order to design the recovery circuit to be used for the pre-feasibility study.
The importation of the mining equipment has been hampered by the recent holidays but will continue in the coming weeks with plans to start installing the gold mill and plant on the Company’s newly leased land, 700 meters from the mining camp site. The site preparation at the mining camp has been completed and a new road from the camp to the mine is planned to begin construction, but has been hampered recently by rain and snow.
Finally, AIVN’s consulting firm in Nevada, AMEC, has filed with the BLM road permits for the Golden Eagle Mining project. AIVN will undertake the state water pollution permit as its next step.
