Silver Bullet Mines (SBMI) has commenced commissioning its wholly-owned 125 MTPD mill located near Globe, Arizona.

VP Capital Markets and Director Peter Clausi sat down with Coreena Robertson to discuss the news.

Commissioning will take place over the next few weeks and will include the following steps:

  • Water will be run through the mill to check for leaks;
  • Motors will be test run individually and sequentially;
  • Each piece of equipment will be test run individually and sequentially to confirm technical matters such as the alignment of gears, bearing temperatures, and clearances;
  • Conveyors will be tracked for speed and consistency;
  • Crushers will be adjusted to proper settings as dictated by the conveyors;
  • The ball charge will then be put in the mill, meaning the steel balls will be inserted into the ball mill in anticipation of feedstock;
  • Once all the equipment is calibrated, the mill will again be wet run with water to insure pumps and piping are correct; and
  • Installation of ancillary equipment as needed will follow.

Test feed material will be added when the mill has been confirmed to be operating correctly. 

It is anticipated the entire commissioning process will take a few weeks, following which processing of the higher grade material can begin.

Silver Bullet Mines is focused on the discovery and development of mineral deposits primarily in Arizona with additional mineral properties in Idaho and Nevada.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (SBMI) opened trading at C$0.355.
