Hondo Minerals Corp. (HMNC) has completed the operation to produce ionized water which is the critical substance needed for the extraction of minerals as required by its process and will be produced in a nearby offsite to be stored. With machinery in place to load and crush its tailings and electric generation to power its processing equipment, HMNC awaits regulatory inspections for final approvals for its site and facilities. The full mineral extraction process onsite will begin immediately following the Mining Safety and Health Administration regulatory and safety training certification. HMNC's initial independent testing has indicated the Tennessee Mine tailings and dumps could produce an average of 1 oz. to 3 oz. of gold and about 30 oz. or more of silver per ton using our exclusive environmentally friendly technology. At the Tennessee Mine there are approximately a million tons of metal rich tailings and dump material.
