By conducting desorption in the newly acquired plant, the company will be able to perform the desorption step that was previously conducted by third-parties.
Inca One Gold re-located the desorption plant, which was operated successfully in-situ at its original Chala City location, to a secure facility on site at the Chala One mill site.
The company has also made ongoing adjustments in the milling and leaching operations at the Chala One plant to adjust the performance of the plant to increase recovery while minimising costs.
Inca One Gold president and chief executive officer Edward Kelly said: "The Chala One plant has delivered a solid performance during its expansion, start-up, and since the commencement of commercial production.
