 CABORCA, Mexico, Jan. 19, 2021 GLOBE NEWSWIRE -- Mexus Gold US OTCQB: MXSG Mexus or the Company announced it is on schedule to meet its goal of reaching 100 gpm to the heap leach pad by February 1st. The mine, located in Caborca, Sonora State, Mx, continues to expand production. Mexus geologist, Cesar Lemas, provided details on the build out and production ramp up: Mexus continues mining at the Mexus III area where a potent shear zone is being followed. Assayed results are showing between .7 to 1.3 gt Au with approximately 600 tons a day being moved to the crushing plant. Leaching continues to produce .2 to .35 ppm Au at 60 gpm producing 3 ozs per day which is expected to double by February 1st. Currently, pregnant solution is being passed through carbon absorption with 60 efficiency. Additional carbon is being delivered to the mine site January 19th that will increase the recovery to 85 within 5 days of set up. Electrowinning will follow when the carbon filters are loaded with enough metallics. The necessary equipment has been moved to the area to start drilling exploration holes as to direct future mining. About 30 to 40 solution samples are assayed daily from heap leaching using atomic absorption via the companies two Perkin Elmo units. About 12-20 fire assays rock samples are run daily from material being produced in addition to the loaded activated carbon which is also fire assayed to monitor and confirm recovery.
