Gold Resource’s polymetallic Arista vein deposit contains high-grade gold and silver mineralization with by-product credits of copper, lead and zinc, which is made up of multiple en echelon veins with the two predominant veins being the Baja and the Arista veins.
Both veins have been intercepted and as mine development continues high-grade ore is being stockpiled.
Gold Resource has also named Juan Manuel Flores as Mexico country manager, who has over 30 years of experience in the mining, metallurgy and construction industries.
Gold Resource president Jason Reid said that commencement of stockpiling underground Arista ore, in the fourth quarter as planned, is a significant milestone for the El Aquila Project.
"We are presently mining the Baja vein and developing the Arista vein on the 4th level," Reid said.
"Our spiral decline will be to level 5 shortly where we will add additional working faces to the mining of the Baja and Arista veins."
