The Company has sent its first bulk sample to Apache Mining from the Gold Reef property located at Lucerne Valley, California. The bulk sample consisted of a one ton sample that was run through Apaches gravity mill to test the free milling aspect of the gold and to see what mill adaption changes are needed for future ore processing. Apache mining recovered 10.5 grams of gold dory from the one ton sample. The gold recovery is believed to be a fraction of the true content of the ore as the concentrate tailings and
mine tails still had significant gold left in the tailings. Apache mining has initiated a full work up on the ore in order to initiate changes in its mill to recover the very fine gold content of the ores that make up the majority of the gold content. Apache believes it can capture approximately 75-90% of the gold in the ore once mill adaption is completed. Assays are pending of the head ore and mine tails as part of the ore work up.
The company has 65,000 tons of stockpiled ore which is certified as to tonnage and gold and silver content (7 ounces of silver and 0.03 ounces of gold per ton).
