Copper King Mining Corporation (Other OTC:CPRK), an ore mining, processing, and exploration company located in Southern Utah, today provided additional construction updates concerning its Flotation Processing Mill.

Copper King has purchased a line of thickeners for the mill's floatation process. This week the concentrate thickener, complete with bride and rakes, arrived in a nearly new condition. The 16' Denver Thickener is 16' Dia X 9' 6" deep wall height, complete with Denver Thickener mechanism, tank, drive, rakes, and bridge.

The Denver Thickener is capable of processing up to 270 tons of concentrate per day. This will allow the Flotation Processing Mill, as designed, to expand with very little additional capital investment. Upon commencement of mill operations, the thickener should receive for processing 75-100 tons of concentrate per day.

The Flotation Processing Mill presently is designed to process 2,500 short tons of ore per day; and is estimated to produce 50-65,000 pounds of copper in concentrate, 25 ounces of gold, and 2,500 ounces of silver per day. The gross daily production value at start up, using current metal prices is estimated at $300,000 to $320,000 per day. This does not include the magnetite value which may add $10,000 to $25,000 per day in value.

Ok, I'll give this a try w one. I don't want to replicate pics that are found either on this site or CPRK site so I'll post new/interesting ones. This first one is pic is the VAT Leaching system. Its approx 3 stories high; very impressive. Air is forced in the bottom at just the right rate to create bubbles that float to the top where they're scooped off as concentrate and shipped to Kennecott etc (i was told the bubbles have to be exactly the right size otherwise the metals won't adhere and float up)
