Santa Fe Gold Working Diligently to Bring Current SEC Filings of Annual and Quarterly Reports
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Dec. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Santa Fe Gold Corporation (SFEG), an OTC traded, U.S. based mining company that currently ranks 9th out of the top ten US based mid-tier and junior precious metals companies (as cited by mining industry trade journal, The Northern Miner) with 148 mining claims covering 42 mine sites and potential mines, plans to deliver economic grade, high silica gold and silver siliceous vein material from its Jim Crow mine to a smelter under a provisional arrangement to begin deliveries in 2019.
Management’s goal is to build up production of gold and silver siliceous vein material from its Jim Crow Mine to a targeted production of an aggregate 500 tons per day from multiple mines in time.
As higher output of gold and silver siliceous vein material production is achieved from the Jim Crow Mine, our plan is to commence the exploitation and development of the adjacent Imperial Mine and also the Billali Mine.
Chairman Brian Adair Comments
We are close to initiating our first shipment to a smelter under a special arrangement trial shipment of gold and silver siliceous material in December 2019, with plans to continue shipments in 2020.
This first shipment is a prelude to what we expect to be regular shipments over the first four months of 2020, with the goal of increasing the shipment amounts to 2,000 tons per month if and as capacity increases. Payment is expected to be within 30 days of shipment.
I would like to particularly thank shareholders and mining personnel for their support and confidence in Santa Fe Gold, as we begin to execute our business plan.
