Brookmount Explorations Inc. announced that the company has now completed an upgrade of its existing heapleach pad at its mining and processing facilities in Western Minahasa province. The upgrade included increasing the capacity of the pad to 5,000 tonnes from 3,500 tonnes and reinstalling plumbing for recycling runoff into larger capacity tailing ponds. The Company confirmed that it has also installed a higher capacity, more powerful pumping system which will increase the velocity of water circulation by 30%. The larger pad will accommodate up to 5,000 tonnes of ore comprising largely volcanic soil and small rocks. With the larger ore base together with higher velocity and more efficient water flow, yield from the pad per operating cycle is expected to increase significantly. The Company anticipates that the Initial cycle for the expanded leachpad will commence in mid-July with results available by the end of the month.
