PIURA, Peru, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MonArc Corporation http://www.monacorporation.com/ and http://www.andrea-sa.com/ (MONA.PK) is pleased to announce that it has achieved another important milestone in its gold mining ore processing capabilities.
The Company has finished the construction of an elusion system to process the activated carbon at its onsite processing plant facilities and begun refining its own gold and silver onsite. Previously, the Company was shipping its pregnant activated carbon to third parties in Lima for the elution process. Bringing this capability in-house not only saves third party processing costs, but significantly reduces shipping costs.
Founder and President of Compania Minera Andrea Gold SA, Alejandro Diaz, explains, "The elusion process is one of the last steps required before high grade ore is ready to go directly to the smelter to process into gold bars.
After the ore is crushed on site, it is processed in a series of tanks that use activated carbon to absorb the gold from the ore, somewhat like a sponge. Once this process is complete, the gold needs to be removed from the pregnant carbon, a step known as elution or desorption. Typically concentrations as high as 4000 to 8000 grams of gold per ton of carbon (g/t Au) can be achieved from the final loaded carbon. The high grade material that results from the elution process can then be smelted into ingots suitable for transport to a refinery.
We have just processed our first pregnant activated carbon from the first week operations and recovered 3 Kilolitres of fine gold and 1/2 Kilolitre of silver".
