Orinoco marks Cascavel milestone with first gold pour

Orinoco Gold has poured the first gold from its flagship 70%-owned Cascavel gold mine, in central Brazil, resulting in the production of the company’s first bar of gold bullion. This was a trial gold pour using some of the gold concentrate produced during the ongoing plant commissioning phase, derived from low-grade development material. The trial gold pour was designed to commission the gold furnace and test fluxing requirements for smelting.
