Moreton Resources Limited updated the market upon the progress of its Granite Belt Project, which is currently ramping up operations, seeking to commission 2 of its 4 existing heaps namely Heap Leach 1 and 3. The decision to advance to Heap Leach irrigation comes at the expense of the ponds project whereby MRV Metals Pty Ltd. was seeking to undertake an agitation vat leaching process, however given the considerable amount of material to treat, the decision has been made to look toward steady and stable production from the Heaps, prior to a final solution being determined for the existing high grade materials located within the ponds. As the market is aware through announcement on 3 April 2017, "Production Pond Assay's Return High Silver Grade" the Company had undertaken via ALS Hydrographics, to quantify the total amount of pond sludge and estimated grade. At that time a report furnished by ALS highlighted the Intermediate pond was expected to have approx. 955 cubic meters of sediment in it. Currently the Company believes the total mass of each pond could be up to 300% greater than anticipated and as such, whilst this could be an extremely valuable resource, the sheer volume at this early stage of commencement of operations, is too great to deal with, with limited resources and lack of facilities to promote a desirable level of agitation. What has been pleasing throughout trials is the obvious mobilisation of Silver, which highlighted the ability to remobilise the Silver content within the sludge, however on a large scale this is proving too time intensive, which is adversely affecting restart activities.
