Vereda Guayaquil
In Guayaquil, we have already been able to complete the washing plant, including the roof of the total surface area. We still have to make logical adjustments to the detailed engineering to achieve a perfect synchronisation between all the elements, but we can consider it finished.
By 15 November, testing of all the plant equipment should begin, for which we have extracted 7,000 tonnes of ore that will allow processing during the first 5 months.
The developments have allowed us to prepare 4 mining panels and a fifth is being prepared, which will provide us with 11,000 tonnes of production with an average grade of 6 grams per tonne.
We plan to start washing 40 tonnes of material per day, increasing by a further 10 tonnes per month, reaching 80 tonnes per day by the middle of the year.
The water treatment plant is almost finished and adjustments have been made so that the washing plant can start operating as soon as possible, with completion projected for next month.
We can announce that by the end of November, the washing plant will be operational.
La María
At La María, mechanical adaptation work was completed on terrace 3 of the plant, and tests were carried out to verify air under-supply and the condition of the propellers, making it possible to cyanide the concentrates.
In the laboratory, the installation of the entire floor covering was completed and the water network was brought from the main tank to the laboratory.
Work was started on the external enclosure with blocks and mesh and also the roofing of the rear part in metal piping and zinc tiles that will cover the equipment responsible for supplying pressurised air, pipette gas, dust extractor, hot gas extractor, the main electrical panel of the installations.
The external and internal walls were also painted and waterproofed.
Exploration continues as every month and as the central axis of the work of the geology area it has been carried out continuously throughout the month. As a novelty this month, two possible veins with a NE trend have been found, which have already been sampled.
Minexcorp will soon send another email with instructions on how to collaborate in the social part of the project, buying specific products at a discount or to collaborate directly with one of the schools in the area.
