TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 5, 2016) - Minera Alamos Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MAI) (the "Company" or "Minera Alamos") is pleased to provide an update on the development work underway at the La Fortuna gold project in Durango Mexico. Efforts are currently being focused on two principal milestones; completion of the permit applications and preparation of the recently acquired grinding/flotation facility for transport to Mexico.
"The level of project detail required for the permits is not dissimilar from what will be ultimately utilized in our Pre-Feasibility Study," said Darren Koningen, President at Minera Alamos. "Once these applications are submitted, we can turn our attention to the final plan optimization and completion of that study. In tandem, we will initiate the refurbishment and staging of the plant in Mexico and begin an exploration program focused on expanding our existing resource base."
Permit Applications
Two applications are currently being finalized for the La Fortuna project; the Environmental Impact Statement (Manifestacion de Impacto Ambriental) and an Environmental Risk Study (Estudio de Riesgo Ambiental). The most significant components of these applications include:
Discussions are well underway with the local landowners and residents to complete agreements for surface land use. Once these agreements are in place, the application will be submitted and with permits expected to be issued in Q2 2017.
Mineral Processing Facility
Earlier this year, the Company announced that it had acquired the assets of a previously operational grinding/flotation facility for use in the construction of the La Fortuna project. That equipment currently resides in Val D'or Quebec. Certain upgrades and arrangements are underway in preparation for shipment later this year.
