[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inception Mining Inc. (OTC QB: IMII) (“Inception” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of the expansion project initially announced in May 3, 2017 at its whollyowned Clavo Rico Project in Honduras.\n In summary, the processing capacity of excavation, hauling, and crushing facilities has been increased to 500 -750 tpd.  Additionally, stacking capacity of the leach pad was increased from 400,000 tonnes to over 750,000 tonnes. This increase will hopefully enable the Company to meet its production target for 2018 of 10,000 ounces recovered gold. Commissioning of newly acquired earth moving and processing equipment throughout the month of August resulted in stacking of 6725 tonnes of ore on the leach pad at a throughput rate of over 600 tpd. Furthermore, the equipment performed to design specifications with crushing facilities passing 70% below 3/8th of an inch which will enhance the overall efficiency of the operation.  In all, the upgraded mining and processing circuit was successfully operated for a total of 11 days. The current method of ore treatment through the heap leach operation has been maintained during expansion. A range of production values have been considered and for each incremental increase in production over the current rate per year for which a mine plan and flowsheets were developed. To allow preferential treatment of ore based on variable cut off grades and economics, provisions have been made to treat low grade run of mine (\"ROM\") ore directly on a dedicated ROM leach pad without further sizing. This approach will provide flexibility for the operation to maximize ore production through the process plant while taking advantage of variable annual production from low grade reserves to achieve maximum gold recovery.  Technical Report The Company has engaged Precision GeoSolutions to complete an independent National Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report for the Company’s Clavo Rico Project in Honduras. The report will incorporate drilling data from twelve core holes drilled in 2016 at the Clavo Rico Project as well as previous drill data and extensive information collected from recent mapping and sampling initiatives. A number of site visits have been completed by the independent ...
