PLEXMAR TO INSTALL PROCESSING PLANT IN NORTHERN PERU
SAINTE-FOY, QUEBEC- Plexmar Resources Inc. (TSX-V:PLE), is pleased to announce that
it has decided to install a gold processing plant near its exploration properties located in
Northern Peru. Plexmar is currently looking at different potential sites to install and operate
the plant.
According to a survey, there are at least 700 miners working in the districts of Suyo, Sapallica,
Paimas and Ayabaca and there are at least 70 ‘quimbaletes’ (big circular stone used like a
grindstone to crush the ore to a fine powder) in operation in those areas. We estimate that,
within a 15 kilometer radius of our projects, approximately 100 tons per day is being mined
with grades varying from 2 grams to 15 grams of gold per 30 kg pail, equivalent to 67 to 500
g/ton Au or 2,15 to 4,82 ozs/ton, US$914 to $2,048 per ton. This number is expected to grow
significantly as more local people are becoming miners and more gold rich veins are being
found.
The artisan miners sell their gold rich ore between US$300 to US$350 per ton to buyers who
in return ship it to processing mills located as far as Ica, Arequipa and Nazca, some 1,500 Km
away. It is Plexmar intentions to consolidate this market.
A number of sites are currently being considered to host the plant. Budget quotes have been
asked from engineering firms in Lima to design, move and build the new plant. Ore material is
currently being taken from different workings and will be shipped to a metallurgical lab for
preliminary leaching tests. Once a site is selected, the permitting process will be initiated.
Plexmar already owns a 100 ton per day plant located near the town of Trujillo. The plant
was designed to process sulphide ore using flotation cells. Plexmar will dismantle and use as
much equipment as possible from this plant and move it to the new site.
For the local communities and the artisan miners, there are numerous benefits on having a
plant nearby. First the plant will train, employ local people and create local economic
windfalls. Second, the miners will be able to mine lower grade ores, as of now, the material
grading under 1 ounce per ton is not touched and considered waste. Third, the plant will
eliminate the need for the miners to use mercury which is a health and environmental hazard.
Fourth, the Company will train the miners in health, safety and help them improve their
productivity.
Plexmar holds approximately 40 km2 of land that form the Bolsa del Diablo property in
Northern Peru. An alteration system of significant size, a minimum of 4 km2, has been
identified within the property. All samples collected so far are anomalous in gold with values
ranging from 14 ppb to 119,5 g/t Au. Preliminary observations suggest the presence of a
large scale epithermal system.
2
All the volcanic rocks in the area of interest show pervasive argillic alteration and have
developed very intense stockwork structures. Gold mineralization occurs partly as fracture
fillings in the stockwork and also as dissemination throughout the rock. Limonitization is
pervasive throughout the rock. This intense stockwork was observed in numerous places
throughout the property.
