Mexus Gold U.S. announced yesterday that the Mexus tugboat “Caleb” and its 230 foot barge arrived in Ketchikan, Alaska on October 29, 2010. It is equipped with automated cable pulling equipment and underwater electrical equipment, magtonetor, underwater cable identifier, remote cameras and a high definition scanning sensor, and a cable left buoy marking system.
By next Tuesday, November 9, 2010, Mexus Gold U.S. expects to have cable on barge deck. They will work as long as weather permits in the Alaskan waters and then move tug and barge to Washington State. The Company will be ready in early spring to start pulling cable again in the Alaskan waters and intends to pull cable 24 hours a day with two crews. This is until they have 4 million pounds of cable or a safe load for weather conditions. At that point, the barge will be off loaded, during which time the crew will have four days off. Mexus Gold U.S. expects to average two barge loads per month beginning in early spring.
CEO Mr. Paul Thompson stated, “The transport and setup of our operating equipment is an extremely essential part of our project, and now that it is accomplished, although late in the season, Mexus Gold will start to pull cable while fine-tuning our equipment and crew. We expect our project should be 100% operational by spring.”
