Juina Mining Begins Testing of Production Facility
RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 1999--Juina Mining Corp. (OTC BB:GEMM)(BERLIN:JUI.BER) Wednesday announced that the company has begun processing diamond-bearing gravel at its plant in Juina, Mato Grosso, Brazil.
In the beginning stages of production, the company is processing gravel through pulsating concentration machines (jigs) and magnetic separators. Particular attention is being paid to the five state-of-the-art magnetic separators which are being calibrated in accordance with the geological properties of the local alluvial gravels to increase processing efficiency and to facilitate diamond recovery.
A senior technician from the American company that manufactured the magnetic separators spent three days during the week ended Jan. 15 at the plant supervising the assembly and installation of each machine.
Other components of the plant are in the final assembly stage at this time. Delays from both year-end holidays and unusually heavy rains in December (which created transportation problems and work stoppages for several days) caused serious gaps in the work process. To compensate for these delays, additional supervisory staff and work crews have been brought in to complete the plant assembly process as quickly as possible.
The plant will be fully commissioned after the remaining stages in the production flow process are completed and tested. When completed, the plant will be among the most modern, state-of-the-art facilities of its kind in all of South America.
With regard to the recent decline in the value of the Brazilian currency on world financial markets, the company is pleased to report that it will benefit from this crisis. The company transacts its business in American dollars, and the increased purchasing power of the dollar, with relation to the Brazilian real, will lower overhead costs in Brazil.
Juina Mining is a diamond resource and exploration company with exclusive rights to a mining and mineral concession on 2,471 acres located in Juina.
