Proof will be in the pudding.
His specialty seems to be a consultant on gold recovery, which is why he was brought in as a consultant here. Is he the man for the job? We'll soon find out.
The refining facility was developed in the course of his consulting work for various clients,
involving the extraction of precious metal values from their concentrates. Mr. Garcia had
previously put the Montgomery Shoshone Mine into operation in 1983. Once he developed and
implemented extraction procedures for the ore, and the viability of the property. These
procedures mainly centered around his development of cathionic/anionic polymers that enabled
the precious metals to be extracted from the ore in an economical, profitable manner.
Mr. Garcia later joined with St. Joe American (one of the world's largest gold mining
companies), a subsidiary of Fluor Corporation, to block out and develop the main ore body of 8
million tons on a large scale. The results of which are seen in the attached 1989 article in the
California Mining Journal and brochure documenting history and current development of
Bullfrog, Montgomery -Shoshone gold mine. This soon became the largest gold mine in
Southern Nevada employing several hundred persons and having a major impact on the
economy of the area.
Although Mr. Garcia's formal education at Arizona State University prepared him as a chemist,
his vocational experience is mainly as a metallurgist. To his credit, Mr. Garcia has developed
enhanced extraction procedures for various ores including improved oxidation and cyanide vat
leaches, increased concentrates extraction's by ozonation of ore while in a chlorinated state,
complex sulfide and brominated ore extraction's and cathionic and anionic polymer flocculants.
Mr. Garcia has been assisting P.T.I. , Ortech and similar mining companies in the development
of their new and innovative recovery processes.
