Peruvian Metals Continues Consistent Mineral
Processing During August at the Aguila Norte Processing
Plant in Northern Peru
Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 10, 2019) -
Peruvian Metals Corp. (TSXV: PER)
("
Peruvian Metals
" or the
"
Company
") is pleased to provide an update regarding the mineral processing at its 80% owned fully permitted Aguila Norte
Processing Plant ("Aguila Norte" or the "Plant") located in Northern Peru.
During the month of August, Peruvian Metals processed 1,795 metric tonnes ("mt") and as of August 31st stockpiled a further
811 mt at Aguila Norte. A total of sixteen mineral campaigns or batches totalling 13,249 mt have been processed since the
beginning of the year. The Plant continues to provide excellent recoveries and high quality concentrates for mineral suppliers.
The Company is currently upgrading the Plant with the construction of new concentrate drying areas and tailings area expansion.
Jeffrey Reeder, CEO of Peruvian Metals, comments: "The Company's Aguila Norte processing facility has been achieving
consistent production for the past several months. August production was slightly lower due to a bottleneck in our concentrate
drying areas, which we have begun to expand along with our tailings area. These upgrades at the Plant are anticipated to
increase throughput and lead to higher quantities of metric tonnes processed on a monthly basis. The Company continues to
negotiate with nearby mineral suppliers to purchase mineral directly, and if successful, anticipates higher margins compared to
processing third party mineral."
The Aguila Norte processing plant has an environmental permit ("IGAC") from the Peruvian government which provides the Plant
with the ability to expand operations past the current 100 mt per day level. Jeffrey Reeder, P Geo, a qualified person as defined
in National Instrument 43-101, has prepared, supervised the preparation or approved the scientific and technical disclosure
contained in this news release.
