LAS VEGAS, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Broadband Inc. (OTC: AABB) (“AABB” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has now completed a week of shareholder tours of AABB’s new gold and silver ore processing facility in Etzatlan, Mexico. The daily tour participants were transported by helicopter from Guadalajara to the La Paz Mine and the processing plant site to view and learn about all aspects of the mine and the facility operations. As a token of appreciation for attending, the Company gifted a commemorative AABB silver coin, made with silver processed on-site, to the largest shareholder on each tour. Additionally, the Company learned that one of the coin recipients is more than a 5% shareholder and his holdings will now be reported in the quarterly disclosures. AABB encourages all large shareholders to disclose their positions for reporting and to highlight the confidence in the Company’s growth that large holdings represent.   

Thrilled with the success of the inaugural tours, the Company is planning to host additional tours to highlight and inform shareholders of AABB’s current and future projects. These events could accommodate the many shareholders that inquired about the tours, but were unable to travel and attend at this time.

AABB’s new plant is designed to utilize advanced mining equipment automation and efficiencies to maximize processing throughput and metals extraction and minimize the production costs. The unique benefits of the Company’s on-site lab and testing program accelerates the new processing facility operations with reduced costs and maximized plant revenues. Additionally, the facility has been built with expanded processing capability that will be implemented after the initial production levels have been established.

The first line of production, which is a mineral flotation process, will be capable of producing up to 500 tons per day. The initial processing target will be 350 tons per day for the first 3 months and then gradually increase to 500 tons per day. With an average production cost of $56.75 USD per ton, the Company estimates a net revenue of $2,170,610 USD in the first 3 months of operations and $11,473,227 USD in the first 12 months. The second line of production, which is a cyanidation process, is also estimated to go into production September 2025, with an initial target of 200 tons per day for the first 4 months and gradually increase to 500 tons per day. Since the cyanidation process produces a higher yield, the estimated net revenue is expected to increase to $2,554,367 USD in the first 4 months of operations and $15,326,203 USD in the first 12 months.

“It was an amazing week for AABB and the shareholders that attended our tours of the new processing facility in Etzatlan. The Company had the unique opportunity to showcase to some of our greatest supporters the achievements of our technical team. We are all very proud and excited to have reached this pivotal point in our Company’s mining operations and to have created the foundation to reach the next level of growth for AABB,” expressed Chris Torres, AABB President and CEO.
