About MX Gold

MX Gold Corp. is a junior mining company focused on the exploration, development and mining of advanced projects located in British Columbia and Mexico.

The Company’s primary focus in British Columbia is its high-grade Willa gold and copper project located 12 kilometers south of Silverton, B.C. In 2015, MX Gold Corp. completed the accretive acquisition of the Willa project and the Max Molybdenum Mine and Mill Complex. This acquisition removed major costs and shortened timelines typically associated with mine project development with planned ore shipment from Willa to the Max Mill.

MX Gold is also earning a 50% participating ownership interest and a 45% net profit participating interest in the Magistral Del Oro Project is located 392 kilometres south-west of Chihuahua City, Mexico.  The project includes a 500 tonne/day Dynamic Cyanide counter current system plant constructed in 2013 and exclusive rights to process mineralized mill tailings.
