Mexus Gold US (OTCQB: MXSG) announced that production at its Santa Elena mine in Caborca, MX continues with positive results. The company recently moved a 40 ton 6×6 articulated haul truck to the site which will allow for an increase in daily production. In addition, the company is updating a 330 CAT excavator to keep pace with the increased production in Pit #1 on the Julio vein and shear zone. Assaying of the material now being worked has shown up to 16 gpt Au with an average of 2.1 gpt Au. Work on Phase 1 of 3 of the company’s build-out of the heap leach pad continues.

Mexus continues to mine, crush and stack new material on the heap pad with ongoing gold recovery. The company is benefitting from the recent uptick in the price of gold.
