Completion Of Underground Development At The Wulonggou Gold Mine

VANCOUVER – Muzhu Mining Ltd. reported that its wholly owned Chinese subsidiary Luoyang Sow International Mining Company Ltd (LSM) has completed the underground development at the Wulonggou Gold Mine. The mining team can now access the historical mine workings and the vein exposures. Bulk sampling has commenced. The Wulonggou Gold Mine is in Xishan Township, Luoning County, Henan Province, China. Luoning County encompasses numerous gold-silver-producing mines and historical producers.

The historical F12 vein was exposed after excavating a new portal and drifting 70 m. The first 5,000-ton bulk sample will be sent to the Luoning County Jun De Hong Yu flotation mill for processing. The flotation mill is approximately 10 km from the Wulonngou Mine and has a 1000 tpd capacity.

The F12 is one of several veins in the Wulonngou Gold Mine mineralized structure. Three of these currently identified veins are still being worked, but production from the F12 vein ceased in 1999 when a provincial highway was constructed, and the mine entrance was deemed too close to the highway.
