MONTREAL, Aug. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glen Eagle Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GER) (“Glen Eagle” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Cobra Oro gold processing plant in Honduras has reached optimum operating capacity in July. Throughput peaked on several days at 150 tons and has stayed regularly above 80 tons per day. The average grade processed for the month of July was 2.4 grams per ton. The ore was provided by its partner Inception Mining based on the Agreement signed between both parties in December 2018.
The ore grade is expected to increase significantly by late August and reach an average of 5 grams gold per ton while Inception Mining is expected to continue hauling a consistent ore feed to Cobra Oro gold plant at an average of 100 tons per day well into next year.
In the last 5 weeks, the Company has produced over 160 ounces of gold, far exceeding any previous month despite processing low grade ore and battering through the rainy season. The ongoing situation with Inception Mining, combined with other ore suppliers under contract with Cobra Oro will likely warrant a plant expansion to meet supplies by increasing daily throughput from its current maximum capacity of 150 tons to 250 tons.
In summary, Cobra Oro gold processing plant has never worked so efficiently in the past and the Company expects, all things being equal, to be quite profitable in the coming months based on the information and projections that it is managing internally.
