Pinehurst Capital I Inc. (TSXV: PHT.P) (the
"
Corporation" or
"
Pinehurst"), a capital pool company listed on the
TSX Venture Exchange ("
TSXV"), and further to its
previously proposed qualifying transaction (the
"
Transaction") with Silver Bullet Mines Inc.
("
SBMI"), is pleased to provide an update on
operations at SBMI’s silver property in Arizona.
SBMI advised Pinehurst that SBMI entered into a
contract with DENM Engineering Ltd. of Burlington, Ontario to
upgrade SBMI’s current pilot plant on its property in Arizona. The
contract includes engineering and procurement of equipment for the
plant to a designed maximum daily processing capability of 125 tons
of feed material. This plant will replace the current pilot plant
and should give SBMI the capacity to handle the larger bulk samples
necessary to build a compliant resource on its Arizona
property.
The plant consists of three main modules:
crushing; grinding; and gravity. Each module will be expandable and
transportable. The plant will be located on SBMI's recently
acquired 65-acre mining patent property just outside Globe,
Arizona. The property is currently being upgraded to handle the new
pilot plant including the construction of new foundation pads.
SBMI's crew is currently moving and intends to
install SBMI's in-house assay facility over the next 3 weeks that
should enable SBMI to determine sample mineralization grade on a
continuous basis and to confirm recoveries. This assay facility was
kept in secure storage pending the re-starting of the Buckeye
Mine.
SBMI contracted an excavation company to work
with its geological team to expose the Buckeye vein at surface to
determine structural orientation and locate higher grade
mineralization zones along the structure. This continuing
exploration program will assist SBMI’s mining team to determine the
direction of the development for bulk sampling.
This development and bulk sampling at both the
surface and the underground at the Buckeye Mine is planned to build
a stockpile of anomalous mineralized material for feed to the pilot
plant.
The installation of the pilot plant and assay
facility, and the development at the Buckeye Mine, point to
commencement of the initial pilot plant testing in the fourth
quarter of 2021.
Ron Wortel, SBMI President, said, "The upgrading
of our pilot plant facility will enable us to better determine
grade and resource. It will also help create a clear plan to move
all of our historic silver producers in the Richmond Basin
forward."
