MEDELLIN, Colombia,
May 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Orofino
Gold Corp. (OTCQB : ORFG) announces that it has requested Sepro
Systems Corp. to assist in the design criteria to improve
environmental sensitivity and maximize yield production and
recoveries as it begins development at its Culo Alzado mine site in
Sur de Bolivar, Colombia.
Canadian-based Sepro Systems Corp. is a leading supplier of
state-of-the-art, environmentally sensitive mineral processing
equipment for projects worldwide.
Recent permitting issues for Colombian based Gold projects due
to environmental concerns from the Colombian government have made
sustainable and environmentally conscious mining programs a top
priority for many of the region's mining companies. Orofino's
directors and management feel taking steps to ensure sustainability
from the beginning of its exploration process is part of the
company's responsibility to the local population and government.
These steps will also better position the company for long-term
development of its concessions thanks to a decreased environmental
impact.
In addition to positioning Orofino for environmentally
sustainable growth, installing Sepro equipment at its Culo Alzado
mine site will also dramatically improve recoveries of minerals
from current workings. Orofino intends to install new,
state-of-the-art crushing, milling, and recovery systems in order
to begin a regular sampling program as laid-out by the company's
Qualified Person as described in the National Instrument 43-101.
This equipment will enable Orofino to generate regular, up-to-date
metallurgical and geological reports, improving knowledge of the
composition of the producing concessions and increasing investor
confidence.
Orofino Gold is a Colombian based gold producer, founded as a
private company in 2009 by former executives with over 50
cumulative years in mining exploration, finance, and development
expertise. Orofino's corporate objective is to continue to build
shareholder value through the exploration and development of The
Senderos de Oro Gold Camp and
additional accretive acquisitions, capitalizing on the extensive
experience and relationships that management has developed over the
past 25 years.
