Endomines AB: Pampalo January-February production levels lower than planned
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Pampalo Gold Mine production for January and February has been lower than
planned. During this period, underground works followed the planned mining
schedule for Pampalo with production mainly in the low grade areas of the mine.
In addition, two breakdowns occurred in the crushing circuit during the period,
resulting in ten days of production stoppages. This resulted in a lower than
planned gold production.
A better gold grade obtained during the first weeks of March will not compensate
for the shortfall in January-February. Although higher grade ore will be mined
in Q2 and Q3 according to the Pampalo mining schedule, it is possible that 2012
gold production will be below 800 kg. Endomines maintains its long-term
guidance of 800-900 kg beyond 2012.
The lower gold production will result in a higher cash cost for the full Q1
period. The production results for the Q1 period will be published in the
Production Update at the beginning of April, and Cash Cost in the Q1 Interim
Report due on 23 May.
