Borneo Resource Investments Ltd. Announces New Production Run
HONG KONG / ACCESSWIRE / June 25, 2015 / Borneo Resource Investments Ltd (PINKSHEETS: BRNE) announced that, following successful completion of a test run last month, it has commenced full production at its recently completed leach pad on the 8HA property acquired late last year. In announcing this development, Nils Ollquist CEO commented, “We are pleased that the commitment, in terms of both investment and time, in our new production facilities, will now start to add to our revenue base and offset the shortfall that arose from the write off of the Talawaan investment last year.”
Mr Ollquist continued, “All of the infrastructure at the new site has been developed turnkey, including leveling and constructing the leachpad itself and building associated facilities including tailing ponds, carbon filtration unit, power generation facilities, water access and plumbing, worker accommodation and security. We have refined our production process using the results of the trial run, including running soil testing on ore targeted for excavation and loading, and closer monitoring of the excavation and loading process itself, so that the loaded ore will be of a higher tonnage and of the highest grade.
We are pleased to confirm that the initial test results showed ore grades significantly higher than anticipated and we are optimistic that the result for this run will be well in excess of 2kg of 99% pure gold.”
Mr Ollquist concluded: “We have now created a workable and efficient template for construction, trial and commissioning of new heapleach production facilities. Our mining plan calls for completion of an additional 10,000 tonne pad adjacent to our newly completed site by August and to have a total of 4 large scale operational leachpads by the end of October. These 4 leachpads, fully operational, will have a targeted output of around 17.5kg of 99% pure gold per 6-7 week cycle. Against this background, we look forward to strong financial results for the balance of the year.”
