HONDO MINERALS CORP (HMNC)
Hondo Minerals Corporation is engaged in the acquisition of mines, mining claims and mining real estate in the United States, Canada and Mexico with mineral reserves of precious metals or non-ferrous metals. Hondo owns the Tennessee and Schuylkill Mines in Chloride, Arizona. The Tennessee Mine was the largest producing silver mine in Arizona history. The Tennessee Mine operated from the late 1800’s until 1947 producing lead, zinc, gold and silver. The Company also owns numerous other mining claims in the US Southwest, which are being evaluated for additional reserves.
Gold plays an essential part in every one of the millions of computers and peripherals that are produced worldwide every year. Gold is refined to 99.999 % pure and is drawn out to a wire only one hundredth of a millimetre in diameter. This bonding wire is used to connect the semi-conductors and circuits. It is used on circuit boards and to make the contacts when using the keyboard. The printed circuit boards in computer games have gold circuitry and gold plated contacts that are used in the plugs to ensure trouble free contacts. Washing machines, dishwashers and even the humble pocket calculator need gold to operate reliably and efficiently.
HONDO MINERALS CORP (HMNC) is pleased to announce that it has just acquired over $500,000 dollars of additional E-Leech equipment for its Tennessee Mine production facility.
William R. Miertschin Chairman and CEO of Hondo Minerals says, “This purchase along with the $2.4 million dollars of previously announced equipment demonstrates our continued efforts to invest real dollars in this project to increase shareholder value.”
Mr. Miertschin went on to say, “All of this newly acquired equipment will allow the company the ability to reach its production and revenue targets 6 to 12 months ahead of schedule, and with the advanced technology of E-Leech, Hondo Minerals is posed to set new standards while obtaining optimum results from its exclusively licensed mining process.”
E-Leech technology is a patent pending process that creates a leaching process without the use of hazardous chemicals such as cyanide at its Tennessee Mine processing plant.
Toxic chemicals previously used such as Hydrochloric and Nitric Acid are replaced with a water-based and pH adjusted medium to leach precious and base metals from mine tailings that is safe to humans and the environment.
Electrochemical processes are used to generate pH levels low enough to leach metals such as Gold, Silver, Zinc and Rare Earths into a solution for recovery at an extremely low cost per ton.
