VANCOUVER, Jan. 4, 2017 /CNW/ – Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: MLN) (“Marlin” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an operating update from its wholly owned La Trinidad mine in Sinaloa, Mexico (“La Trinidad”).
Since September 15, 2016, when Marlin began consistently mining the high grade HS Zone, the Company has stacked 59,456 ounces of gold with 18,431 coming in December alone. The tonnes stacked in December had an average grade of approximately 5.17 grams per tonne. In addition, Marlin has built up an approximately 488,000-tonne stockpile of mineralized material with an average grade of approximately 1.60 grams per tonne. Management expects to process grades similar to the stockpile grade as we accelerate mining to reach the southern part of the high grade HS Zone later this year.
