CARSON CITY, Nev., April 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mexus Gold US (OTCQB:MXSG) ("Mexus" or the "Company") announced today that it continues to move forward with the opening of its Julio mining concession in Caborca, Mexico. Mexus is working with veteran underground miner Mark Warren. Mark has worked underground mines for years and has the experience to help plan the company's next steps. CEO Paul Thompson demonstrated to Mark how the mining equipment currently in place works including the use of the gold milling and recovery equipment. Mark was satisfied with what has been done to date and gave the company recommendations on the best course of action moving forward. In addition, the company continues to review all options concerning the necessary blasting that will occur at the underground mine. Mexus is interviewing outside contractors who have blasting permits. A decision whether to use an outside contractor's permit or acquire a permit will be made in the near future.

Negotiations with a group from Nevada continue with CEO Paul Thompson meeting the potential JV partners today. The goal, assuming both parties can agree, would be to have a deal done the first part of May.
The placer operation is producing mostly fine gold although some nice sized nuggets are being recovered. (See picture). Added CEO Thompson, "We are nearing the 600 ton per day mark which was our initial goal for the placer. We expect the average yield per ton to increase but realize that our clean out results will vary from week to week. The placer is operating as planned and we are happy with the progress."
