Please leave comments on the above captioned
blog site. This should be a good way to
meet other like minded people.

The new production equipment should be finished soon. We expect to test the process with the new production equipment before the end of this year. We will be testing Honduras ore with
the Ammonium Thiosulfate Solution (ATS). We will be using new, purpose built equipment. If it works, we will ship the equipment to Honduras and install same. I am estimating
that it will take sixty (60) days, once the equipment has been delivered to the Telica Mill Site to start production testing. This includes the new crushing, grinding, and processing equipment.
George Site has dedicated the last five years to the new equipment and process. Everything works in the laboratory; however, it must work in the field.

We have received a number if inquiries about this process and Honduras in particular. Let's wait and see if the equipment and process work. Then we can start work on ramping up production.

We are patenting the process and will grant licenses for use.

For the last fifteen years, we have been testing and evaluating non-cyanide leaches on Honduras Ores.
We have chosen not to use cyanide; because of environmental concerns.

Starting due diligence on a custom mill in Colorado.
We are researching the possibility of building a custom mill in Chaffee
County, Colorado to process the ore from the Chalk Creek Mining District,
probably near Nathrop, Colorado. This would also allow ore from the Leadville area.

The new technology should work on the gold and silver ores from this area.
There are a number of good mines and prospects in the area.

The Iron Chest, Mary Murphy, St. Elmo Queen, and the Latchlaw mines come to mind.

We will run some ore later this fall and review the results. This would allow not only a profit,
but clean up any tailings piles and ore dumps still remaining.

Years ago, The Eureka Saturday Night Milling Company had a similar (original) idea.
I believe that they had a great idea, just waiting on technology.
If anyone knows how to contact those gentlemen, please
let me know. That had a great idea about thirty (30) years ago.

Ammonium Thiosulfate will make this work

Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Do not get excited yet. We must determine if the ore is amenable to an Ammonium Thiosulfate Leach.
Will try to have these experiments complete by the end of October 2011.

When the mill becomes operational at Telica, Department of Olancho, Honduras, we will be looking for
entrepreneurs to take over and operate approximately ten (10) small mines in that area.
The mines will not be feasible, until the mill works as planned.

1. Ammonium Thiosulphate Process for Sulphide ores.
2. Working on adding a geothermal drilling department in Oklahoma City.
This would allow direct transfer for geothermal systems with minimal damage.
3. Custom milling of ores in Chaffee County Colorado.
4. Custom milling of ores in Department of Olancho, Honduras.

2. The re-engineering was based upon the results of our testing during Spring 2005.

3. All new milling equipment has been ordered and received. We will install it as soon as possible.

This operation is not related to Minera Virginia, just an interesting photograph.
