Robex Resources Inc.: First Gross Gold Sales
QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Sep 23, 2014) - Robex Resources Inc. ("Robex" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RBX)(FRANKFURT:RB4) is pleased to announce that last week they proceded in the casting of a first doré test (raw ingot) at the Nampala mine, in Mali. This test doré has a net weight of 3.6 kilograms and a grade of 93.07% gold content.
Georges Cohen, President and CEO of Robex Resources Inc. stated: "This test casting has enabled us to validate the entire chain of production, including export and transport to the refiner."
The challenges we had on the elution led us to realize that we were able to complete a successful casting, though not yet fully satisfactory. The critical path, today, shows that our plant performs perfectly well for the regular daily throughput of 2,800 t / d. However, we first have to perfect the recovery rate of the CIL circuit by adding two additional cyanidation tanks and secondly, obtain from our gold room adequate capacity to match our throughput by adding complimentary elution equipment.
The goal is to reach, as soon as possible, a throughput of about 3,400 t / d throughout the entire production chain.
These investments represent minor amounts in regards to the return on investment. However, we are dependent on manufacturing, transportation and installation. This delay will oblige us, in the meantime, to adjust our operating costs to the production capacity of the gold room.
