ECU is pleased to report on operations for the month of October in which the Company generated sales from both its Oxide Mill and its Sulphide Mill.
In total, the Company treated 16,914 tonnes (mt) of mineralized material during the month of October with 15,694 mt being treated at the Oxide Mill over 30 days and 1,220 mt treated at the Sulphide Mill in 4 days. The Oxide Mill continues to perform very well at an average rate of 523 tonnes per day (tpd) during the month of October.
Operations generated a total of 631 ounces (oz) of gold and 34,576 oz of silver. This corresponds to a 10% decrease in gold and a 152% increase in silver over the previous month. The decrease in gold is due to the shut-down of the roaster to install additional equipment to enhance the control of emissions, while the increase in silver is due to the sale of high silver grade lead concentrates.
