Pearl Gold AG: Kodiéran gold mine in Mali announces gold grades of treated
raw material
- Second production line of 5,000 tons successfully tested
- Current average gold grade of around 5 g/mt exceeds estimates
Frankfurt, 21 August 2012 - Pearl Gold AG (02:GR) announces today that the
Kodiéran gold mine in Mali has successfully tested the second production
line of 5,000 tons per day and will finalize the adjustment and fine tuning
within the next days. This will bring the total production capacity up to
10,000 tons of raw material per day out of the 11,000 tons per day as final
capacity. Kodiéran is operated by Wassoul'Or S.A., in which Pearl Gold
holds a 25 percent stake.
The gold grade of the processed raw material so far exceeds the estimates
stated in the geological surveys for the gold mine. In the past four weeks,
the average gold grade amounted to approx. five grams per metric ton of raw
material. The gold concentration of about 0.4 gram per metric ton in the
tailings reflects the high standard of the gravimetric production process
implemented at the mine. Lutz Hartmann, member of the management board of
Pearl Gold comments: 'We are highly satisfied with the present results,
which demonstrate the rich potential Kodiéran holds. However, we are fully
aware that the gold grade will vary over time, as it depends on the layer
of soil in which we are digging in the open pit. Nonetheless, we view the
high average gold grade as a very positive development.'
Pearl Gold AG's management team expects to announce further production
figures by mid of September.
