CARSON CITY, Nev., June 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Del Toro Silver Corp. (OTCBB:DTOR) ("Del Toro" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Natchez Pass LLC has secured an additional $100,000 in financing and placer mining and processing operations have begun at the Natchez Pass Gold Property (AKA the "Nick"). Del Toro owns a 5% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") on gold production at the Nick mine, and will receive 5% of the net proceeds from any sale of the Nick to a third party, with a $300,000 minimum return from such sale.
On May 28, 2015 Natchez Pass LLC successfully closed a $100,000 private financing with Kunlong Investment LLC of Palo Alto, California. The additional operating capital facilitated uninterrupted operations at the Nick, including the successful completion of mandated regulatory agency site inspections and the commencement of placer production mining. Initial placer mining began the week of June 8 with several bulk sample test runs through the on-site processing plant. After performance modifications to the plant, the initial production run of 750 cubic yards of ore was processed on June 13th and 14th. A final cleanup and metallurgical analysis of the concentrates is planned for this week and will determine the total amount of gold produced.
Del Toro president Greg Painter states, "This is an important milestone achievement for both Natchez Pass LLC and Del Toro. Natchez has secured two rounds of financing and accomplished a great deal of work in the past few months. We are all excited to see the first gold produced at the mine and anticipate our 5% royalty payments to come on-line in the near future."
