News for 'CGFIA' - (Colorado Goldfields Inc. Announces Pride of the West Mill LIVES!)
LAKEWOOD, CO, Mar 02, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Colorado Goldfields Inc. (OTCBB: CGFIA) announces re-activation agenda for the Pride of the West Mill. Local expert Peter Maisel of Maisel Excavating, LLC will perform initial redistribution of surplus milling by-products to areas on the property that will clear the way for delivering new ore. "Historically, milling operations in Southwestern Colorado similar in scope to the Pride of the West Mill have generated from $5 million to $15 million annual gross revenue and typically are profitable in the first year of operations," commented Maisel.
"We have received many more solicitations for custom milling since the first of the year than we ever anticipated," said John Ferguson, Director of Operations. "We believe that accelerating re-activation of the Mill is a wise strategic move, particularly as the uncertain economy forces other mining companies to roll back their plans."
The Company's comprehensive re-activation plan has several components developed collaboratively with the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety including a new pond high water line and re-grading for proper drainage for sand tailings or inert material from the upper pond. A new perforated piping system will constantly monitor the ground water level.
Excavation of the old by-products into an impermeable clay barrier, reinforced with lime, lime kiln dust, and the addition of water and re-compaction to 90% proctor or greater will complete the proper relocation. The stockpile pad at the Mill entrance, after drainage verification, will then be ready to accept new ore," stated John Ferguson, Director of Operations.
"In these turbulent and quickly changing economic times, the ability to be extremely responsive and work collaboratively are keys to success. I am thankful that we have both. In addition to the results of our own drilling program, and the ultimate recovery of our own gold, bringing the Mill into production more quickly than originally planned will tap a revenue source for us, which frankly was generated by the very economic downturn that has caught others unprepared," said C. Stephen Guyer, CFO for Colorado Goldfields.
