Lead Ore Production Capacity

Currently, we manage to produce 120-150 ton/month of lead ore and are trying to increase the production capacity. Out target is to increase the production capacity up to 400-500 ton/month. Our current method of mining is manual mining, which is very old-fashioned way of mining. Investment on equipments and infrastructures is needed to increase the production capacity and to cut the production cost.

Geologically, our holes are located in right geological setting. The precious metal deposits in the area are all epithermal and have been shown to extend from surface stockwork of millimeter to decimeter thick vein. Type of deposits to simple argillic-chloritic alteration zone, to breccia, and deeper types of the various epithermal classes.
