Processing Plant

Our operating partner, Gold Horizons SAC, owns and operates the Yuromayo mineral processing facility.

Although the plant is licensed to process up to 300 tonnes per day the current name plate capacity is 40 tonnes a day. The short term plan is to bring in a conical crusher and some larger agitation tanks to run alongside the current cycle. These upgrades will very quickly bring the name plate capacity to more than 150 tonnes per day.

The plant is running a carbon-in-pulp cycle with crushers, mills and agitation tanks. The property has ample room to expand beyond the 300 tonnes per day licensed capacity and planning has started to place a flotation processing plant to run alongside. There is a working lab and office on site as well as lodgings, kitchen and amenities with working plumbing.

There is no on site "gold room". Currently the carbon (the end product from the plant) is transported to a 3rd party processing company nearby where gold bars are molded. There are plans to build a "gold room" at a secure location off site.

Processing the ore at the Yuromayo processing plant ensures the following:

Low cost of processing and transportation.
Quality control over processing procedures.
Highest quality gold produced.
Safer for community and less environmental impact than mercury processing plant.

Suppliers

We currently maintain relationships with a high number of suppliers across Peru. All of them are legal, formal and regulated businesses. The capacity of these suppliers varies between 50 to 500 tons per month.
