The company duplicated the list, lowered the service load and cleaned the areas for the benefit of the employees.

The activated charcoal technology of Remevin allows a recovery of the 90 percent of gold
The recovery of the Revemin plant, located in the Pebble, above today to its first year. The company that belonged to Crystallex was assumed by Minerven and in the last months it has been prepared and improved for the increase of the production and the benefit of the workers.

Before the list did not arrive at 100 employees, today approaches 200 people, which has lowered the service load of all, allowing that these have one better quality of life and a time of smaller exhibition to the risks.

Agustín Rivas Rivas, general supervisor of operations, informed that the plant was processing around thousand tons daily of material, and that the mineral recovery, through activated charcoal process, was of 90 percent.

It explained that the plant is very healthy and that thanks to that technology of the activated charcoal, are possible to be obtained levels of as satisfactory recovery as the mentioned one. The coal system, whose highly porous characteristic, catches gold and lets pass the rest of the components of the processed material.

At sight future
The company processes material of different mines also pertaining to Minerven that are Union, Méndez Soda and Colombia Mine. Rivas Rivas indicated that it satisfactorily surprises to see to him how Revemin has surpassed the stumbling blocks that came presenting/displaying before the state taking from the auriferous one.

It emphasized that thanks to the work in equipment they have been possible to resolve all the problems, and informed that the plant been has not paralyzed since it has informed through different means from national circulation. It clarified that days back made a shutdown of 40 hours in the milling area because was necessary, but by the others they have not had paralyzations.

In a guided route one was the new acquisitions for the preparation of some areas, like the one of the electrical service to which it needed to him conditioneds air that allow to maintain the equipment to certain temperatures to avoid unexpected faults.

Worrying the tasks
Revemin is part of Minerven and as so it is between the plants that work based on the obtaining of the 8 tons of gold that drew up as it puts for this 2009. The general manager of Minerven, Juan Bonalde, spoke of the elaboration of a cronogram to reach a record of production near the propose goal, that could not be reached because of delays in the operations of the different plants.

These delays obey to problems with the apparatuses, some of these by the lack of spare parts and lubricants, and others by presumed sabotages would scheme to it of the mine.

Although the company are open investigations thinks that in his rows there are people who are making damage to the equipment badly to put the present administration that she has more of a year to the front. The general manager made in that one opportunity a call so that the authors of the attacks took brings back to consciousness and stopped the actions by the good of the industry.

As one is the first anniversary of Revemin into the hands of Minerven, for today it is preparation an entertainment and a visit guided mass media. One hopes that the president of Minerven, Luis Herrera, is there sharing with the workers.

Until now the programming anticipates acts with the union leadership and a count of how it was the plant a year ago back and how it is now, after the investments and the recovery at the hands of the State.
