Orefinders Resources has started production activities at the Mirado Mine Stockpile project in Canada.
The company already mobilised earthmoving, crushing, conveyor and loading equipment onto site and confirmed that crushing activities have now started.
A crushing production rate of around 1,500 to 2,000t per day is expected.
Later on, shipment of the resource will begin to the Westwood Mine and Mill after crushing to avoid any delays with trucking.
Orefinders signed a toll milling agreement in July this year to deliver a minimum 25,000t of resource from the Mirado to the Westwood Gold Mine for processing, as well as extraction.
The company intends Phase I of the Mirado Stockpile project as a means of cleaning up the former mine site and generating cash-flow for its ongoing exploration and development.
