Rusoro's Isidora gold mine has produced some 190,000 ounces of gold at a rate of 250-300 t/d of high grade gold ore since 2005

Rusoro Mining Ltd's Isidora gold mine is located some five kilometers from the company's El Choco 10 mine and 112 kilometers north of the La Camorra mill in southern Bolivar State. Now they've almost completed a gigantic ramp to take men and machinery deep underground to get at the most precious gold-bearing rock buried many meters deep.

Huge ventilators pump precious air into the mmine which is part of the so-called Block B zone close to El Callao. Rusoro controls leases at El Puyero and Choco 7 covering 18,272 hectares.

The mine began production four years ago (2005) and has produced some 190,000 ounces of gold at a rate of 250-300 t/d of high grade gold ore since then.

This is just the first hundred meters into the Isidora mine from which Rusoro plans to process ore at Choco 10 to significantly lower trucking distances and costs and reducing the cut-off grade while increasing the number of tonnes available for processing from the current mining plan.
