May 30, 2023 nflg 0 Comments

American Bonanza Gold Corp. announced that it has purchased a jaw crusher for the Copperstone gold mine in Arizona.

In a release, the company said the jaw crusher is a Nordberg P1008VF Portable Jaw Plant with ST1008 Jaw Crusher (32″ x 40″), a 16 foot x 44″ Vibrating Grizzly feeder , a Kent Model KHB-86 Rock Breaker with 16′ Boom and an associated control tower.

The crusher has a capacity of up to 200 tons per hour and will easily crush all of the coarse run-of-mine mill feed for the planned mining operations. Delivery for the equipment is expected in 2-3 weeks. The equipment was purchase from Earthworks machinery Company of Roseville Calif.

The company said this acquisition is a key component for the development of the Copperstone gold mine and is an important step towards achieving gold production at the Copperstone mine in the third quarter of 2011.The only remaining major equipment to be acquired for the gold processing plant is the secondary crusher, and the Company said it anticipates that acquisition soon.

Bonanza said it is working to re-activate mining at the preproduction-stage Copperstone Mine in Arizona. Bonanza has approximately 180 million shares outstanding and has no debt.

Jaw crushing plant suits large-scale end users

The Powerscreen Pegson XA750 offers jaw crushing productivity at up to 827 tph. The XA750 is fitted with a hydraulically driven pan feeder and live pre-screening unit, with a bolt-in cartridge style grizzly section, to remove fines and sizes prior to crushing, avoiding packing and unnecessary manganese wear.

Pre-screened material can be stockpiled via an optional dirt conveyor or redirected via the bypass chute onto the main product conveyor. An unrestricted feed opening of 55 in. x 32 in. prevents bridging and maintains a consistent feed to the WJ55 single toggle jaw crusher, which features a hydraulic closed side setting adjustment system that can be changed for maximum control of product sizing. A 288 kW diesel engine powers the system.
