GOLD: Goldrea readies mill for small miners

PERU – October is the target date for start-up of a 10-t/d gold milling plant currently under construction by Goldrea Resources Corp. of Vancouver. The plant will be located outside the town of Las Lomas in the northern province of Piura.

Goldrea is building the mill for the use of artisanal miners who would otherwise treat their ores in an environmentally unsound manner, releasing arsenic and mercury. Working with the Peruvian government and local communities, the company is building a plant that uses ball milling and gravity concentration with recycled water to separate the valuable gold particles.

The company has acquired most of the necessary equipment and is now assembling and building the plant, which is coming in on budget.
