Ball mill was initially put back online in January There are three capital projects in progress which require completion in order to see significant increases in mill operations. The capital projects are installation of refurbished 10` by 10` ball mill, construction of a new 60` by 12` thickener tank and installation of furnaces and related infrastructure to produce dore bars as opposed to precipitate.
As of this date the refurbished mill was installed and initially put online in January 2014, however the mill has not yet operated continuously due to some mechanical issues with supporting motors and feeder bearings. The refurbished mill has now been taken offline and is not expected to be back in full time service until late February 2014.
