Where is the results from the Vat? The leach pad?

Nothing new in the 10-Q filing, right out of PRs:

In June 2018, Mexus completed its first test of the VAT leaching system and the Merrill Crowe gold recovery plant at the 8 brothers/370 mine project. The successful test produced 70 pounds of precipitate which is currently being dried and prepared for smelting. Results of this first run will be released soon. The material initially mined took longer to leach than expected. Mexus geologist, Cesar Mauricio Lemas Contreras has identified new material which has been column tested showing a 48 to 72 hour leach time. The company will mine and use this material going forward to accelerate recovery times.



Still drying?

We intend to move forward with the Santa Elena project with proper equipment and personnel. Due to the lack of funding by MarMar, the Santa Elena site, a disappointing 8.5oz Au was produced in the last 22 months.

The Company has contracted with a security firm to provide 24-hour services at the Santa Elena site. Currently, there is equipment on site sufficient to produce an anticipated 500 tons a day and plans are in place to begin hiring staff with production beginning shortly thereafter. In addition, safety fencing will be installed and required site clean-up will occur that will satisfy any environmental concerns at the property. Two separate parties are running tests on the heap leach pad to determine the next steps to allow for recovery of gold and silver within the system.

Using previously developed geological mapping the company plans to mine the Julio quartz vein and the adjacent shear zone via open pit mining. The existing Julio vein, with depths to 30 meters and widths from 1 to 4 meters, has values ranging from 1.5 to 186 grams Au per ton. The adjacent shear zone carries values from .5 to 17 grams Au per ton. Mexus estimates that the shear zone will average 2.5 grams per ton gold equivalent with the Julio vein values being much higher. Additional equipment will be purchased which will enable the company to increase production to 1000 tons a day and beyond. Mexus intends to announce a non-dilutive capital raise plan in the very near future.



There's your answers. Precipitate still drying at Ures and still testing the pad at Santa Elena to figure out how to squeeze out the gold and silver.

But, while you wait.....there's always "Project Mabel".



Do your own research, use third-party sources, and don't buy into the hype.
