Slam Exploration explored the mining aspects at Menneval gold mine in January 2015. Till now, one hundred thirty tons of crushed ore extracted from a high grade section of a gold zone known as the Hook, and 150 tons of quartz material stockpiled and ready for crushing. Mike Taylor, CEO of Slam Exploration Ltd., first of all, started order for equipment purchases. Rather than spend more money on expanded drilling the company decided to spend it on actually producing gold and evaluating it. By September 2015 the turnkey plant was operating at full capacity, the hammer mill pounding vein material to pass through a 0.8 mm screen and separating heavy minerals and visible gold passing over the shaker tables to produce a gold-bearing concentrate at a rate of 1 to 2 tonnes per hour.
