Tombstone Exploration Corporation Announces Production Has Started at the Bonanza Harquahala Mine

PHOENIX, July 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tombstone Exploration Corporation (OTCQB: TMBXF), a fully reporting U.S. based mining company, announced today in combination with Goldrock Resources Inc. and the Bonanza Mining Company the first pour from production.

First results have been received from production in June that started at the Bonanza Harquahala Mine. Production of 83.7 oz of Dore was stripped from the Bonanza’s activated carbon by Metals Research and sent to Metalore Inc. for final disposition. First payment from the Dore is expected during the week beginning on July 12, 2021. This is a milestone event with improvement in production expected as the project continues to move forward.

The leaching commenced at the Bonanza Harquahala Mine on June 3, 2021 when pH levels increased to allow for safe sustained leaching. Approximately 35,000 tons of rock have been placed on the leach pad with the entire area under leach. Carbon has been placed in all four carbon columns and is collecting gold & silver from solution.

Alan Brown, TMBXF President & CEO, commented, “This is the start of production after a series of issues related to the water and permitting. The personnel at the mine continue to seek ways to improve production and identify better options for leaching and ultimately create more enhanced leaching characteristics. Bonanza will continue to move forward with production with ounce production expected to increase as we perfect the leach process over the upcoming months. As the leaching has started, periodic delivery of the carbon to the designated gold processing facility is expected.”

The Bonanza Mine property includes the Harquahala and Golden Eagle mines, located approximately eight miles south of Salome, Arizona. The project totals 2,656 acres and has significant underground workings.
