We have been testing non-cyanide gold leachs on sulfide ores.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
UPDATE 2006:
1. We have re-engineered the Telica Mill for production from the Hornos Exploitation Permits, specifically the sulfide ores..
2. The re-engineering was based upon the results of our testing last Spring 2005.
3. All new milling equipment has been ordered, should be in place by the end of July 2008.
4. Some of this equipment is being modified by George Sites in Arizona.
5. Several people have asked for additional information on Honduras minerals, suggest that they contact Jim Dierzen, Pierre Morissette, or Walter Mast
