With making few quick-hit improvements to the existing plant it's anticipated we'll be able to double production and significantly increase recovery rates" stated President & CEO, Mr. Corey Sandberg. Mr. Sandberg further stated, "Our intention is to increase production to 100 TPD by Q3 of 2014. I'm excited what the future holds for Affinity and its shareholders and look forward to sharing more about the merits of Cambalache in the very near future."
