Reno, NV, Sept. 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Liberty Power Corp. (FLPC: OTC Pink), a diversified exploration, development and junior mining company focused on strategic minerals for America's future, today announced the completion of a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire a 50% operational interest in a central Nevada processing facility, known as the Liberty Precious Metals Processing Facility (the "Liberty Mill").
First Liberty Power CEO, Don Nicholson, provided details of this significant FLPC development. "After extensive negotiations, First Liberty Power has entered into a binding LOI for a definitive share purchase agreement ("SPA") to acquire 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Coronet Metals US Inc. (Coronet US) from Coronet Metals Inc. Coronet US currently holds the lease to operate and has expended a capital investment of $2.1 million in the Liberty Mill, which is located on 40-acres of private land in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, approximately two hours north‐west of Las Vegas. The SPA is to be concluded before Monday, October 6 th ." http://www.firstlibertypower.com/investors/filings/
The Liberty Mill is a gravity separation operation that is also permitted to use cyanide for leaching material that is not recoverable through that separation process. Currently, the operation is fully permitted to process up to 50 tons of feed material per day from Nevada, as well as out-of-state supply. Identified assets of the Liberty operation include a feed storage containment area, feed hopper, Deister table, wet magnetic separation, ball mill, chemical leaching circuit, filtration, Merrill-Crowe precious metals precipitation, refinery, and two separate water recovery/recycle systems.
CEO Nicholson noted the impact of the joint mill venture relative to the Company's broad-based advances and objectives. "Over the last year, the FLPC management team has increased the Company's mineral properties to more than 1200 acres, including a gold (AG) mineral exploration operation on the Rose Creek Properties with near-term expectations of gold production to improve the FLPC balance sheet. In obtaining this well-established Liberty Mill operation, FLPC has now taken steps that immediately enhances the prospects of the Company's mining business by providing a near-term solution to refining constraints. Moreover, this joint venture advances another FLPC objective of having a facility which, with relatively straight-forward enhancements, will be able to host a dedicated operational line to produce high grade stibnite (antimony) concentrate sourced from our properties."
In acknowledging the significance of the Liberty Mill acquisition, First Liberty Power COO, Jimmy Trikeriotis, detailed the operational impact. "Having access to the Liberty Mill operation greatly expands FLPC's short and mid-term options for both the refining of gold ore concentrates and stibnite as well as other ores. This opportunity fits in ideally with the Company's active development plans for milling and refining capacity in Winnemucca, as it allows for the tailoring of the respective facilities for different ore types and processing methods, and optimizes the transportation logistics of varying ore and concentrate sources."
