CARSON CITY, Nev., May 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Del Toro Silver Corp. (OTCBB:DTOR) ("Del Toro" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that placer mining operations are scheduled to commence 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.
The required commencement notices have been submitted to the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection, the Nevada Division of Mining, the Bureau of Land Management and the Mine Safety & Health Administration. Regulatory agency site inspections are scheduled to begin this week. The placer mining program will be initiated immediately after satisfactory completion of the inspections. Earth moving equipment has been delivered to the site, the wash plant upgrade is completed and a work crew has been hired to facilitate placer production operations of the mine. Members of Del Toro's mining team will consult in the operations.
Del Toro president Greg Painter states, "Natchez Pass LLC has successfully completed the initial work program to prepare the mine for placer production as scheduled and within budget. We are excited to see the mine go into operation and anticipate future revenue for the Company on the 5% NSR that Del Toro holds on the mine."
