Brookmount Explorations Inc. announced that the Company has entered into an operating joint venture with a Chinese gold company pursuant to which the partner will finance and construct a large capacity, 20,000 tonne leach pad and associated infrastructure on one of The Company’s properties at its Alason site. The cost of this facility, estimated at $250,000, which is being constructed using leaching technology, will be borne entirely by the Chinese partner and revenue from gold sales generated from production will be shared 25% to The Company and 75% to the Chinese partner. Site clearing for the facility commenced this week and construction is expected to be completed within 2 months, with the first production run (6 week cycle) estimated for September. Given recent results from comparable sized pads adjacent to The Company’s area at Alason, it is anticipated that production should yield around 15-20kg of pure (99%) gold per cycle valued at $600-800,000, of which The Company’s share would be $150-200,000 with no capital outlay required. When combined with The Company’s existing 10,000 tonne leach pad, total processing capacity at The Company’s Alason site is now 30,000 tonnes, one of the largest in the region.
