The Moss Mine production increased in June!
Northern Vertex Mining announces gold and silver production results for the month of June at Moss Mine, located in NW Arizona. Kenneth Berry, President and CEO, stated: “The efforts of our operational team have once again accomplished another solid month of achieving increased production and recoveries that continue to meet or exceed the design specifications of the mine as we approach the milestone of commercial production.”
According to the report highlights, 1: June production of 1,374 ounces of gold and 4,875 ounces of silver exceeds May’s production of 1,276 ounces of gold and 3,556 ounces of silver. The Company expects production to significantly improve over the next couple of months as ramp up to commercial production continues.
2: Crushing Crew recorded another "best shift" in the month of June with 6,279 tonnes and "best day" of 11,367 tonnes of ore crushed and stacked; improving on May’s crushing of 5,297 tonnes and 8,261 tonnes. The best five-day period in the month of June recorded 48,896 tonnes being processed.
These operational numbers surpass the Feasibility Study projections of reaching 3,500 tonnes per day in month seven from start-up of the mine followed by a tonnage increase to 5,000 tpd in month thirteen through the end of the mine life.
3: Tonnes stacked and crushed per day increased to 4,208 in June from 3,100 in May resulting in an improvement of 36% month over month. 4: Leaching process continues to improve and ounces processed are being recovered at a faster rate than the 100-day leaching cycle time period as set out in the Company’s feasibility study.
