CARSON CITY, Nev., June 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mexus Gold US (OTCQB:MXSG) (“Mexus” or the “Company”) along with its mine partner MarMar holdings gave an update on the progress at the Santa Elena mine.
Work continues as expected with the stockpiling of 700-1000 tons of ore from the vein 2 area. This material is from the blast preparation and is ready to be crushed and placed on top of the geomembrane liner. The company estimates that 3500 tons of crushed ore will be used as a filter for the Heap Leach system. MarMar has drilled a 100 meter section on vein 2 with 6 meter blast holes which are ready to be charged. An additional 200 meters on this round will produce about 8000 tons of ore in one blast.
The area known as vein 1 is also being prepared. A 530 meter section of vein 1 will add an estimated 15,000 tons of ore on the first 6 meters.
Geological mapping and sampling of the property continue on the property with the existing database being examined and expanded to produce a geologic model that can be measured and evaluated.
The heap leach pad and ponds are about 80% complete and ready to be protected with a 2.5 meter wire mesh fence before proceeding with installation of the geomembrane.
Added CEO Paul Thompson, “I’m thrilled with MarMar’s progress to date. They continue to meet and exceed the time frames they have laid out. I look forward to the day that we can announce the mine is in full production.”
Additional progress photos have been added to the website.
