Mexus Gold US (OTCQB:MXSG) (“Mexus” or the “Company”) today announced the appointment of Geologist Cesar Lemas as Director of Operations (DOO). Mr. Lemas is a graduate of the University of Arizona with a Masters in Mineral Economics. His experience is vast and includes geological exploration, mine-project valuation and development, geophysics, geochem, metallurgy, mine design, mineral processing, and dry desert placer mining and development. CEO Paul Thompson added, “Cesar Lemas is the perfect person to help Mexus bring its Santa Elena project into production. His knowledge of our property matched with his experience will prove invaluable moving forward.”
The company also announced that Diego “Memo” Guillermo has been named Mine Superintendent at the Santa Elena property. Mr. Guillermo will manage the day to day operations at the site which will include earth movement, equipment maintenance, and general operations. “Memo has been with our company since day one. His experience at the property, connections within the community, and knowledge of the dirt will really help the mine get to production quickly. We are thrilled that he has accepted this important position,” said Paul Thompson, CEO.
Mexus Gold US is proud to announce that a new plan to begin a production operation at the Santa Elena Project is complete. DOO Cesar Lemas produced the plan and has completed the initial budget. The pilot plant will start with a 10,000 ton heap leach pad. The initial expectation is 1 to 2 grams per ton Au based on our existing resource from the outcropping quartz vein system. This system had been previously sampled and was recently tested by more aggressive and encouraging geochemical follow up. The resource is near surface, economically valuable ore, with open depth potential and holds bonanza Au grades. All exploration data is being evaluated and processed to proceed with the production of a modeled economic volume of ore related to the low angle shear zone structures. These structures dominate the property and are the main bulk mining ore targets in the area.
CEO Thompson closed, “Cesar has given us the budget to begin production. We are currently in the process of procuring the necessary funds which involves various levels of discussions with five different companies. Fortunately, the company already owns most of the equipment needed to produce so the net cost is very reasonable. Cesar believes that we can have our mine operational in 45 days once we flip the switch. This is truly an exciting time for the company. We will have additional information for our shareholders in the coming weeks.”
