Orinoco Gold Limited announce the continued success of its `Back to Basics' approach with 6 new one tonne samples grading an average of 36.68 g/t. This takes the number to 21 samples milled through the pilot hammer mill to an average grade of 45.19 g/t and has been randomly sourced from 21 different parts of the Mestre, Central and Northern Zones of Cascavel. All cleaning and smelting of the samples is conducted in the gold room. Whilst the potential of Cascavel has always been exciting, the delivery of ounces has been elusive. Numerous independent experts have visited site over the last 12 months attempting to crack the code as to why visible high grades in the Mestre and Central zones have been unable to translate into low cost ounces of gold. OGX's new management team are proving that it has been a combination of excessive dilution during mining, together with low recoveries from its existing gravity recovery plant. As a result of company's recent successes new ore extraction methods have successfully been implemented in the development drives and a new low-cost blasting method has successfully been implemented in the stopes. A new 25 tph hammer mill has been purchased from Laminaço, this has been commissioned in Laminaço´s workshop and is scheduled for delivery to Cascavel on the 15 January 2018.
