Mohave Gold Inc. (ASE) has announced it will begin three programs, recommended by MineStart Management Inc., to run concurrently on its Pilgrim mine project, 21 miles northwest of Kingman, Mohave Cty., Ariz.
The first program calls for a cyanide leaching pilot test plant of 200 tons per day to process underground and open pit ore. It also calls for the dewatering of the lower levels for sampling and the installation of hoisting facilities.
The second program recommends infill drilling to upgrade drill-indicated reserves to proven and step-out drilling from known mineralized ore reserves at the main shaft to develop further reserves.
The third calls for geochemical, geophysical and geological reconnaissance to establish targets for future drilling and trenching.
Total current reserves of proven, estimated and drill-indicated ore from the previous two programs total 550,000 tons grading 0.06 oz gold per ton.
Metallurgical testing has produced recoveries of over 80% by cyanide leaching and it is expected that revenue will be immediately generated from the initial pilot test production.
