Garrison International has resumed construction of a processing facility in its Tovshiir gold project in south-eastern Mongolia. Blair Krueger, President of Garrison, has said that “the financial crisis that significantly delayed” the work “is now behind the company”. Once the processing facility has been completed and it becomes operational, Garrison will have achieved its goal of producing gold from its primary asset in Mongolia.

Tovshiir is an open cut gold mining project and would be capable of producing 500 tons per day of gold ore using feedstock grading 4.7 g/t Au. JPCM Ltd., an Australian quarry group, has been engaged to undertake the mining and site ore crushing and to deliver fine material to Garrison”s grinding circuit.

The construction of the plant is estimated to cost USD1,650,000. It is likely to be commissioned in late 2010 and full production should be reached by March 31, 2011.
