United States Antimony Corporation (USAC) has begun mill testing of the Los Juarez property in Queretaro, Mexico to determine whether a cyanide leach circuit is necessary. If it is not required, then no further permitting is foreseen to commence pilot scale production.
The startup plan is to test every step of the operation on a pilot mill scale of up to 100 tons per day.
Stage 1. The installation of the alkaline leach circuit at the Madero smelter in Mexico to process flotation concentrates is nearing completion.
Stage 2. Milling campaigns of rock from different locations at Los Juarez are now underway to determine (1) whether selective mining is possible, and (2) to determine whether a cyanide circuit at the Puerto Blanco mill in Guanajuato is required.
Stage 3. The installation of the cyanide leach plant at Puerto Blanco may not be necessary following stage 2.
Stage 4. This stage will include the installation of the 500 ton per day mill close to the mine to reduce trucking costs.
“If a cyanide leach plant is not necessary at the Puerto Blanco mill, a tremendous savings in time and money could be realized for the startup of Los Juarez. Continued growth during 2016 is being funded internally to prevent the dilution of the shareholder base or taking on debt,” said CEO John Lawrence.
