Review the pictures attached which clearly outlines the progress of construction. Alan Brown, Tombstone Exploration CEO and President, stated, “As the price of Gold continues to increase and stay strong, we are making excellent progress on the Bonanza Project and expecting to complete construction and initiate production in September.  We are very pleased with the execution of our general contractor 5D Mining and Construction as progress is excelling.” Heap leaching is an industrial mining process used to extract precious metals and other compounds from ore using a series of chemical reactions that absorb specific minerals and re-separate them after their division from other earth materials. Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the ore, whereas in situ mining lacks these liners and pulls pregnant solution up to obtain the minerals. Heap leaching is widely used in modern large-scale mining operations as it produces the desired concentrates at a lower cost compared to conventional processing methods such as flotation, agitation, and vat leaching.
