HALIFAX, Aug. 29, 2012 /CNW/ - Terry Coughlan, President and CEO of GoGold Resources Inc. ("GoGold" or the "Company") (TSXV: GGD), is pleased to announce that MDM Engineering from South Africa has been contracted as lead consultant to complete a Pre-Feasibility Study of the Parral Tailings Project in Chihuahua, Mexico ("Parral"). It is anticipated that the study will be complete in late fall of this year.
MDM is a specialized mineral processing and project management company with extensive experience in projects involving the retreatment of tailings. MDM's engineering team has a 24 year track record in process design, engineering, and project execution in a wide range of commodities. MDM's team has completed some 56 projects and over 100 feasibility studies, of which 56 were bankable. Typically all of the feasibility studies undertaken by MDM are within 10% accuracy when subject to independent audits, either by the project finance funding banks or independent mining consultants. MDM's team has been involved in the design and construction of a number of gold processing plants including CIL/CIP and heap leach projects, both with and without agglomeration circuits.
President's Comments - The Parral Tailings Project
Terry Coughlan, President and CEO stated: "Preliminary work shows that
heap leach recovery process could be a viable option to develop the
property. With the contracting of MDM along with our new COO Bob Harris
we are well positioned to advance the project quickly through
feasibility and potentially production. The experience that MDM brings
to the table is very impressive and we feel comfortable with their
progression."
