:: Pacific Gold Corp. Acquires Gold Recovery Unit

Pacific Gold Corp. announced today that it recently ordered a new Knelson XD-48 centrifugal concentrator for the Black Rock Canyon Mine near Crescent Valley, Nevada.

The new equipment is scheduled for delivery at the end of August 2005. The Knelson will be the main recovery unit for fine gold from the Black Rock Canyon Mine. The XD-48 has a rated capacity of up to 300 tons per hour and, with its expanded bowl size, should allow for maximum recovery of the fine gold from the mined gravels. This is the third piece Knelson equipment purchased by Pacific Gold. Previously Pacific realized a more than 99% recovery rate using a Knelson bowl at its project in Oregon in 2004.
