National Gold has reached a tentative verbal agreement with the owners of the
mill and the associated mines
The Corporate Counselors for the respective companies are in the
process of preparing the documents for closing
National Gold has already had some of its staff on site to inspect the mill and equipment
The following pictures were taken by the National Gold staff during their visit
Mill building showing the crushing and conveying circuit to feed the mill
"Grizzly" over the 75 ton Ore Feeder Bin to scalp off the oversize material
so it won't jam the crushers
Note the water tank on the hill in the background
Conveyor Belt from Feeder Bin to the Jaw Crusher, Cone Crusher,
and preliminary Screening Plant
Ore Crushing Facility and Screening Plant
A large - 18"x36" - Jaw Crusher - rated at 70 tons per hour - for primary crushing
A large - 4' - Cone Crusher - rated at 85 tons per hour -
to reduce the size down to feed into the Ball Mill
A series of various size screens form the Screening Plant
designed to return any oversize material for further crushing
Inside the Mill Building showing the 3 ton overhead crane
8'x12' Ball Mill to reduce the ore to face powder size where it can be processed
through the Flotation Cells
This Ball Mill can process up to 500 tons of ore in an 8 hour shift
Flotation Cells
There are 3 banks of 6 Flotations Cells each
This is where the face powder size ore is mixed with chemicals,
and aerated with compressed air to create a foam.
The precious metals react with the chemicals and adhere to the foam bubbles
which causes them to float to the surface
where they can be easily scraped off and collected
4 Leaching Tanks - where the precious metals are liquified before going to
the Labratory for final refining
30'x70' Labratory and Refinery Building
This is where the gold, silver, and other precious metals are turned into
bars of pure metal
National Gold's Chief Executive Officer managed this facility many years ago.
At that time the mill was a profitable operation even though the price of gold was only $80 per troy ounce.
We have every reason to believe that we will now be even more successful
with the current price of gold about $600 a troy ounce more than when we were there before
National Gold will be spending the next few months putting the mill, and the associated mines,
back into operation
Please submit your mining properties to us
for evaluation and possible acquisition
also let us know if you have ore that needs to be processed
