About this update from Amerigo Resources Ltd
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, April 4 /CNW/ - Amerigo Resources Ltd. (TSX:ARG) ("Amerigo" or\nthe "Company") is pleased to announce that El Teniente has completed final\nrepairs to the bridge and adjoining section of the tailings launder leading to\nEl Teniente's Caren tailings impoundment. The full flow of fresh tailings has\nbeen restored to the Company's MVC operations.\n\n\nAs a result of the interruptions in tailings flow for these repairs and\nfor the annual maintenance shutdown in January, the plant was in operation\nless than 80% of regular hours during the quarter. Notwithstanding these\nstoppages, production for Q1-2007 was a strong 6.33 million pounds of copper\nand 123,448 pounds of molybdenum.\n\n\nMVC is also in the process of preparing the hydraulic monitors and\nsubmersible miner in anticipation of receiving formal approval from El\nTeniente to once again begin extraction of the "in situ" tailings from the\nColihues tailings impoundment.\n\n\nAmerigo will provide an additional update after receipt of further\ninformation from El Teniente.\n\n\nAmerigo Resources Ltd. is a Canadian junior company producing copper and\nmolybdenum from its MVC operations near Santiago, Chile.
