Mexus Gold US has recently announced that a second round of blasting has occurred on the Julio shear zone located at its Santa Elena mine in Caborca, Mexico.
Sampling of this shear zone has shown 1.5 to 11.9 g/t Au with some visible gold. 1800 t of this material is being processed and is expected to be placed on the heap leach pad by 12 June 2020. Leaching of the heap pad is now running 24/7.
This newly added material should start returning increased values to the pregnant pond as early as 15 June 2020. Carbon cells and electro winning processing continue to operate capturing 100% gold without interruption.
