WINNIPEG, MB / ACCESSWIRE / April 21, 2021 / Winston Gold Corp. ("Winston Gold" or the "Corporation") (CSE:WGC)(OTCQB:WGMCF) is pleased to announce that it currently has 30 tons of flotation concentrate ready for shipment to a refinery. An additional 10 tons of concentrate will be ready to ship once necessary upgrades are completed at the Paradine Mill Facility, near Radersburg Montana.
"Until Winston leased the Paradine mill, it lay idle for 20 years, commented Murray Nye, CEO and Director of Winston Gold Mines. "The overall advantages of renovating an old mill significantly outweigh building and permitting a new one. In just eight months, we have completed numerous upgrades to make the Paradine mill reliable and efficient."
Some of the more significant upgrades include:
- a new primary and secondary crushing circuit;
- a new primary feed hopper enclosure and digital belt scale;
- a new ball charge for the ball mill;
- a new air compressor;
- a new plate filter for the flotation concentrate;
- A Wilfley table to further concentrate gold and silver from the Knelson concentrator.
It was recently discovered that the trunnion bearings in the ball mill needed to be replaced. This will keep the mill out of operation for about 30 days. Winston Gold will take advantage of this down-time to continue to streamline the mill by inspecting and repairing minor issues that have been identified with the primary flotation cells and the installation of a set of cleaner cells to further improve gold and silver recoveries.
Once these upgrades have been completed, Winston plans to run the Paradine Mill 24 hours a day, 6 days a week to process the high-grade stockpile from the Winston Gold Mine.
