RE: New Flow
RE: New Flow```Recent analysis suggests that a significant part of the La Jojoba gold reserve does not require more capacity to extract copper from leach solution than we already have available onsite. In 2012 the Lluvia-Jojoba project will be expanded into two producing mines, with each mine concurrently feeding ore to the newly constructed Lluvia Dos leach pad. Economies of scale are improved with the prospect of developing ore production from both the Lluvia de Oro and La Jojoba gold mines concurrently,` said Chris Berlet, CEO.``
With this new development, I wonder if the new ADR plant will still be required (to process Jojoba ore). It would be odd for them to still (initially) need the new ADR plant if their findings now show that the current system potentially has the capacity to properly extract the cooper content from a `significant part of the La Jojoba gold reserve` (without clogging up the existing ADR plant at Lluvia de Oro).
From the August 26`11 Corporate Update:
``As the process is expanded, we have under design a refinery expansion to enable the ramp up of production along with a new ADR plant to accommodate production from the Jojoba pit which is scheduled to come on line early next year.``
