Para Resources Inc. said Nov. 21 that it has resumed production at the El Limon gold mine in Colombia on Nov. 15.
The company recommissioned the El Limon mill in Colombia in May after a US$7 million plant refit.
The initially planned ramp-up to the design limit of 225 tons per day was hampered by a through-put constraint at the filter press, which has now been replaced with larger scale belt filter.
The gold grade from the El Limon underground operations continues to be in the projected range of 7 g/t to 9 g/t.
As production ramps up, the company will increase purchases of mineralized rock being mined by the local, formalized small miners operating on the company's mineral claims.
