US exploration firm Mexus Gold US has received all environmental and mining permits required to start work on the area that will become Mexus’ openpit heap leach mine on the Julio/Santa Elena property, located 54 km northwest of Caborca, Mexico.
The company advised on Monday that it would clear an area of 300 m by 100 m for the pad. Mexus intended to exploit the shear zone by means of an openpit mine, where the Julio high-grade quartz vein faulted to the west, as identified by director of operations Cesar Lemas.
