American Bonanza’s Copperstone Operation Moves Towards Production

American Bonanza Gold Corp. (TSX:BZA) announced the latest updates from its Copperstone gold mine. The Company reported operating for one week at the end of January at 79% of the 450 tons per day design capacity. The Company also stated that its processing plant is doing well with regular and consistent assays.

As quoted in the press release:

During the final week of January, overall gold recovery was 84%, although this result is subject to minor revision as the data are finalized. Bonanza’s objective is to maintain the low tailings grade as the head grade increases, which would have the effect of increasing the overall gold recovery. Additionally, optimization of the gravity circuit is aimed at improving the gold recovery over the next several months.
