Silver Elephant Mining has announced plans to start phase one mining of sulphide materials at its Paca silver project in Bolivia by September 2024. This phase aims to extract 10,000 tonnes of mineralized materials, seeking to generate cash flow and validate the Paca resource model.
The project, lasting around 5 months, will include developing a 367-meter tunnel and using the shrinkage stoping method to mine the materials. Expected grades are 412 g/t Ag, 1.09% Pb, and 0.38% Zn.
The company owns the needed mining equipment, and toll milling and concentrate sales will begin in November 2024. Successful phase one execution may lead to full-scale mining in 2025.
Silver Elephant Mining Corp. reported significant gallium and indium assay results from its Pulacayo-Paca silver-lead-zinc project in Bolivia. The results, based on 199 core samples from 12 drill holes, revealed substantial occurrences of gallium (up to 34 g/t) and indium (up to 266 g/t), correlated with high zinc levels. The assay was conducted by ALS Laboratory. The Pulacayo-Paca project has a total indicated resource of 106.7 million ounces of silver, 1.4 billion pounds of zinc, and 690 million pounds of lead. These elements could potentially enhance the value of the final concentrate produced from mining and processing activities.
