Mining Equipment: Topia Silver-Zinc Mine

Mining Equipment: The Topia silver-zinc mine is situated in the west-central Durango State of Mexico. The area covers four blocks of mineral exploitation concessions over 6,344ha. Minera Mexicana EI Rosario, a subsidiary of Great Panther, owns 100% of the concessions.

MSloane Consulting provides mining equipment for various mining companies worldwide.

The Recompensa vein was reopened in January 2009 under new mining contracts. It contributed to first quarter results when high records were set for silver and ore grade.

The Topia mine targets clean mining of high-grade narrow veins with reuse mining. The exploratory development is limited to known areas where there is strong potential for wider and higher grade veins.

The Topia mining district is among the oldest in Mexico. Most of the mine’s veins lie on the Great Panther property.
