About Standard Tolling Corp.
Standard Tolling has assembled a well respected operating team with expertise in operating multiple toll processing plants that purchase ore from small miners. The Company is looking to establish its first toll processing facility in Peru upon the completion of a comprehensive study due in May 2014. Under the progressive new formalization mandate, the Peruvian government has enacted legislation that has fuelled a strong demand for additional compliant ore processing plants. The company is considering several additional tolling opportunities throughout Latin America, each with an initial minimum production rate of at least 20,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent in cases where other ore types are processed.
