U.S. Filter Operating Services has initiated its feasibility study under the Letter of Intent, but in order for Tintic Utah Metals to have a dewatering and recycle If sufficient ore is developed in die silver fissure zone, a portable Knelson Concentrator to be will be brought utilized to process silver fissure ore production. Previous off-sit-e testing of fissure zone material in the Knelson Concentrator has returned extraordinarily high silver concentrates of over 749 ounces of silver per ton, with the Knelson Concentrator recovof ering approximately one-ha- lf the contained precious metal values. The remaining values would be oftained by utilizing a circuit in the Burgin concentrator which was rehabilitated by Sunshine, or by a leaching process. Should the drilling program result in the successful development of a viable orebody, ore production is targeted for the first quarter of 1999, concurrent with projected Trixie Mine production.
