CARSON CITY, Nev., Feb. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mexus Gold US (OTCQB:MXSG)(“Mexus” or the “Company”) CEO Paul Thompson visited the Santa Elena mine on February 2 nd . The purpose of this trip was to evaluate the progress at the mine. Mr. Thompson was able to observe multiple dump trucks placing mineralized material on the leach pad. The excavation and trucking of this material is going well and it was apparent that the first 3 meter lift is nearing completion.
Mr. Thompson was able to meet with on-site engineers and review their initial findings. The first column test has been performed by these engineers with a result of .70 grams AU. This result is encouraging as it represents near surface material. They also stated that cyanide leaching of the pad will begin by the end of February with production occurring by the end of March.
Added Mr. Thompson, “Although progress is slower than we had hoped we are nearing production. The year 2017 will have Mexus ramping up to 10,000 tons a day at the Santa Elena mine. In addition, we expect great things from our San Felix project with production occurring as soon as feasible. All of this is occurring with minimal debt.”
