orinoco gold

Orinoco Gold is a South American gold miner and explorer that owns 100% of the high-grade Cascavel Gold Mine, in central Brazil.

Hammer mill 4 is now running well, hammer mill 5 is due on site this week. The photo was taken this morning of material currently being mined in level 6. #smallcaps #gold #ausbiz #mining

Hammer mill four is now in position and will go into production tomorrow. Hammer mill five will be on site next week, bringing the number of mills processing high grade ore to four.

Video of hammer mills one and two running Mestre vein ore. The Gekko is running two shifts per day five days a week while the two small mills are running three shifts per day five days a week. #gold #smallcaps #ausbiz

As of last Monday, we began running the now optimized Gekko mill 2 shifts a week on tailings. We are now also running our 2 small hammer mills 3 shifts a week on level six high grade with encouraging results. #ASX #smallcap #gold https://t.co/dICvcccdqC

CIL test confirm high-grades for tailings and Mestre zone, 6.14 g/t for tailings and 28.75 g/t for Mestre zone. An apples to apples comparison processed through our Cascavel plant returned 2.11 g/t tailings and 8.75 g/t for the Mestre zone. #smallcaps

Last week we sent 20 tonnes of tailings to the same CIL plant as the underground material for testing. We are running 100 tonnes in 20 tonne batches of the same tailings through HM3 this week for comparison. This will conclude the CIL testing. Results to be released concurrently.

Monday we announced extremely high-grade panel sample at Mestre Level 6 up to 1,443 g/t. https://t.co/NAWNhQRDqp. These samples reinforce out theory that the more we mine the more we find. This video is relevant to the importance of this announcement. https://t.co/Zts57jLzrR

The plant at Cascavel is run from a central control room. At the top left of the collage is a photo of the counter that records the time the plant has been running for the shift. All processes are recorded by the plants computer and displayed on a spreadsheet in real time. #Gold

The use of “drag scoops” have been introduced to the mine to help reduce dilution while maintaining efficiency. After the stope has been blasted, the crew will set up a winch attached to a scoop and drag the shot ore out, so the boggers can take it to the skip. #mining #ausbiz

Final documentation for licensing and restart of Sertão (Rio do Ouro) to be submitted this week. WMC did their mine plan in 1998 using a POG of R$330 oz. The chart shows the large rise in the Brazilian gold price well outperforming other currencies since the mine was shut in 2007

Bringing material to the surface involves a bogger moving the ore from the mining face and stockpiling it close to the skip or loading it directly into the skip. If stockpiled, a bobcat is used to load the skip. Video from Friday the 24th level six @SmallCaps_asx #Gold #ausbiz

Since embarking on our turnaround plan at the start of this year the BRL has fallen 30% helping to reduce costs at Cascavel in $A terms. The POG in BRL is close to an all-time high putting Orinoco in a good position as it focuses on the high-grade Intermediate and Mestre zones.

Hammer mill 3 is cleaned out at the end of the day under the supervision of the plant supervisor. The mats along with the contents of the sump at the bottom of the sluice box are taken directly to the gold room. Note the different particle sizes of the gold. #Gold #ausbiz #ASX

Currently we are feeding HM3 via a feed chute, however we are looking at adding a feeder bin. For the mill to work at it’s best, the correct balance of water and material needs to be achieved to form a “paste” inside the machine. @SmallCapsASX #mining #ausbiz #StockMarket

Now that development work has been completed, starting from this Monday, our underground teams will focus mining mainly from the Intermediate zone and Mestre levels 5 and 6 which are in the southern part of our operation and show the best grades. #Gold #ausbiz #ASX #smallcap

While testing potential shallow eastern extension of the historic Sertão Stage 5 pit, heavily oxidised arsenopyrites and other sulphides were identified in OST013. Exceptional assays were also received from OST012 on the western extension of Stage 4 #Gold

Today we turned our large gold furnace on after sitting idle for over a year. All it needed was a new fuse and away it went. Until today we have been smelting our gold in a smaller crucible with an oxy acetylene torch and heating tip.

These are some examples of the outcropping mineralisation seen by our geologists at Digo Digo along with some of the visible gold found in drill core GDD001. The yellow sulphur crystals are particularly striking. https://t.co/TDm8IvFDJp
