MonArc Corporation (MONA) Completes Peru Andrea SA Gold Mine Merger
BEIJING, Nov 24, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- MonArc Corporation www.monacorporation.com PINKSHEETS: MONA.PK MonArc management is pleased to announce the closing of the merger with Andrea Gold SA. This merger adds considerable value to MONA shares with the currently operating and producing Gold plant in Northern Peru and associated gold leases have an estimated value of at least 4-5 million dollars.
Key staff of Andrea SA are Mr.Alex Diaz, himself a US trained geologist and his partner Mr.Pablo Rodriguez a qualified metallurgist. Together they have put together an excellent team of experienced mining people and the project is a credit to them. MonArc Corporation intends to name both individuals as one of its officers and board members of the company shortly.
This project is not only an exploration opportunity, but a project in current production with the first full week's 24hr production producing in excess of 3 kg or 100 ounces of traditional Inca Gold and 1 kg of Silver. This is a spectacular result given production only began in August of this year, and is only processing about 50 tons per day.
Given the closest processor in Peru is more than 600 miles from Andrea SA plant, this gives a huge advantage in sourcing ore, to supplement the ore from the company leases.
All ore currently being processed at Andrea Gold SA production facility is averaging 12 grams per ton, this is extremely rare in the mining industry to be processing grades as high as this, along with the low wage environment, and modern, latest technology mill and floatation plant, continues to make this plant one of the most profitable operations anywhere in the world.
