Arian's chief executive officer, Jim Williams, said: "This will no doubt turn out to be an exciting development. A new ramp on the San Buenaventura vein system will provide an excellent platform to quickly obtain geological and metallurgical information on the San Buenaventura and El Misie veins. As part of the ramp advance, development material will be sent to a local flotation mill for processing to provide preliminary run-of-mine grades and metallurgical information on silver and gold recoveries.
"We hope that the intersection of the two veins will result in bonanza silver-gold mineralization, similar to that intersected by the Calicanto ramp earlier in 2006. What is particularly exciting is the width potential of these vein systems which have the potential for mechanized mining."
