LITHIA, Fla., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- American
International Ventures, Inc. (OTC: AIVN), announces further plans
to develop its Baja California
project "The Motherlode" through its newly organized Mexican
subsidiary company, AIVN de Mexico
S.A. de C.V. (the "Company"). The Company has successfully
obtained access and property rights, plus a mining concession at
the El Alamo mining district and
will finish road and plant construction for production startup on
approximately 30 hectares or 67.5 acres of prime leased mining
property, 10 of which was recently leased by the Company and the
other 20 hectares is being lease optioned to purchase for three
years from the current owner who has already granted the Company
access to the mining site.
AIVN's mining attorney in Ensenada, BC, Ruben
Reyes, has secured the "Motherlode" concession for the
Company in the El Alamo mining
district, that dates back to 1900, which has a 320' adit running
into the mountain side, where the richest vein was mined until the
death of its owner Eduardo Boullosa
Sr.
This concession, known as Lion Head
Mountain, has been handed down through three generations of
miners in the Boullosa family and is now the main focus of
extraction and recovery of the newly formed Mexican Company. The
vein system rests in the middle of the El
Alamo gold trend that historically produced 200,000 ounces
at the turn of the 20th century and this mine also
constantly produced 1 to 2 ounces of gold per ton from its ore.
The Company's planned pilot program is the first stage to
prepare and complete a pre-feasibility study while permitting its
full mining operation which is planned to begin after the
environmental study has been completed. The Company's Geologist
will use the SKY RAY XRF ex ray spectrometer analysis technology
for assays at the site, in order to design the recovery circuit to
be used for the pre-feasibility study.
The importation of the mining equipment has been hampered by the
recent holidays but will continue in the coming weeks with plans to
start installing the gold mill and plant on the Company's newly
leased land, 700 meters from the mining camp site. The site
preparation at the mining camp has been completed and a new road
from the camp to the mine is planned to begin construction, but has
been hampered recently by rain and snow.
Finally, AIVN's consulting firm in Nevada, AMEC, has filed with the BLM road
permits for the Golden Eagle Mining project. AIVN will undertake
the state water pollution permit as its next step.
