Construction Timeline. Construction of the 242,000 cubic yard heap leach pad and 4,126,239-gallon double-lined pregnant solution pond are slated to begin in May. Management now expects the construction phase to last 60-90 days, after which time the Company will begin to extract tangible gold from the site and bring it to market.
The big news is that we have located an on-site water well source that is expected to completely supply all necessary water for the extraction process. That will save us a lot of money and expedite the process to launching production and bringing tangible gold to market. Construction of the leach pad will commence in May, and we look forward to providing further updates as this process unfolds.”
