RE:RE:RE:Maybe is not so bad afterall
Just re read some of the news. A three-phase plan for Cajueiro would begin with installing a small gravity plant to process Baldo’s saprolite mineralization. In production only since June, the alluvial operation currently languishes at about 35% recovery. Phase II would call for a carbon-in-leach plant between the Baldo and Crente zones, less than one kilometre apart. Initial metallurgical tests suggest gravity separation and cyanide leaching could push recovery above 85%. Phase III would use operating cash flow to ramp up Cajueiro into open pit production. So around 250 oz per month. Not bad for a start. Hardy foresees a fast-paced timeline, with the CIL plant in place within six months and commissioning complete over another two months. The gear has already been sourced with “everything we need within 50 kilometres of us,” he says. The weak Brazilian real helps lighten costs.Infrastructure’s good, Hardy points out, with road connections to nearby towns where staff live, rendering a camp unnecessary. The Alta Floresta gold belt has a longstanding mining history and good community relations, he adds. Well lets see what happens but please keep drilling vb2
