Firma's Grace Point Mining Corp and MX Gold Corp Advance Magistral Project

29.03.2017  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, B.C., March 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MX Gold Corp. (TSX-V:MXL) (FSE:ODV) (OTCQX:MXLGF) (“MX Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Magistral Management Committee, which manages the Company’s partnership with Firma Holdings Corp. (FRMA) through its subsidiary Gracepoint Mining Corp., has hired a Project Manager, completed internal project assessments and formally engaged the mining construction firm “Componentes Mineros” for a turn-key supply and installation of a 1,000 tonne per day (tpd) Merrill Crowe processing plant at Magistral.

To lead the partnership, the Project Management Committee hired Benitzel Ávila Sanchez as the Magistral Project Manager. Mrs. Sanchez is a chemical engineer with extensive mining experience who has been previously employed in several key management positions, including various positions at Alamo Gold’s 18,000 tpd Mulatos Mine from 2007-2014. More recently Mrs. Sanchez has been a consultant on various projects worldwide.

Management is very pleased with Mrs. Sanchez’s efforts to date in determining the best path forward for the Magistral Project. From November 2016 to January 2017, under her supervision, the Magistral Project in Durango has:

  • Initiated the operation to process the tailings stock.
  • Evaluated the current condition of the beneficiation plant.
  • Undertaken further metallurgical testing of the ore (tailings).

Coinciding with the civil work and additional plant construction, some of which has already begun, the Company is in the process of submitting the necessary permits and approvals that will cover the new plant design. The construction process is forecast to be 80% completed by September 2017, with the remaining 20% to be completed after the new permit has been received. It is expected that the plant can be completed and commissioning can begin in January 2018.

A historical estimate was completed by Corporation Ambiental de Mexico SA de CV on Jan. 20, 2012, titled “Perforacion y Muestreo en Presa de Jaleas Estimation Volumetrica, Tonelaje y Ley Promedio.” The CM report estimated a probable reserve of 1.25 million tonnes averaging 2.06 grams per tonne gold. The assumptions for this estimate were based on 58 auger samples, 2.45 metres to three metres in length from 24 drill holes. There has been no additional work on the tailings project since Jan. 20, 2012, and there is no more recent estimate or data available to the Company to verify the historical estimate. The CM report does not comply with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure For Mineral Projects, a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource or reserve and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource or reserve. The company has initiated a data verification program with additional geochemical studies by trenching of the tailings project.

Mr. Francis Biscan Jr., Chairman and CEO of Firma Holdings Corp., stated, "We are excited to have been able to obtain a project manager with the experience and dedication that Mrs. Sanchez brings to the project with her considerable resources and technical skills.”

Mr. Dan Omeniuk of MX Gold, stated, "It is rare to find both people and projects that are such a perfect fit for our vision at MX Gold. GracePoint Mining's focus on building a portfolio of projects with upside potential is very attractive to us.”

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Lorne Warner, P.Geo. Mr. Warner is a director of the Company and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Warner has not verified any of the data disclosed in this news release.
