MILFORD, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Copper King Mining Corporation (Pink Sheets:CPRK), an ore mining, processing, and exploration company located in southern Utah, today provided updates concerning mill construction.
Unusual brutal winter weather with frigid southern Utah temperatures has caused delays in the company’s mill completion construction schedule. Other unusual weather-related problems that were unexpected included the fact that the weather too cold to fuse weld HDPE water pipe, or receive high-pressure water to the well pumps in a timely manner. The company also received discharge ball mill trammels, metering valves, reagent metering pumps and tanks, certain bearings, pulleys and drive belts that, when delivered, were found to be incorrectly built and oversized. Recent warmer weather has greatly improved construction conditions.
Outside substation wiring has also been delayed because of harsh weather. The Toshiba computer control program and associated equipment are delivered and crews are working feverishly to install. The company believes that initial testing of the mill can begin by the end of January 2009, with most of the above-referenced problems corrected.
The company’s crushing contractor, Quality Crushing, will begin crushing Hidden Treasure ore for mill feed on site at the mill on approximately January 25, 2009. Hidden Treasure ore crushing tests are under way at this time by Quality Crushing.
