NEWS RELEASE | |
Gryphon Gold Corporation, 611 N Nevada Street, Carson City, NV 89703 |
Gryphon Gold Provides Production Update
Shipped 1,464 equivalent gold ounces in May 2012; Total of 2,764 ounces shipped in first two months of fiscal 2013
Completed drilling program; Defined resources for development of detailed mine plan
Engaged Kei Advisors LLC for investor relations strategy
CARSON CITY, NV, June 26, 2012 - Gryphon Gold Corporation (the Company or Gryphon Gold) (GGN: TSX; GYPH: OTCBB), a gold exploration, development and production company focused on its Borealis Oxide Heap Leach Project in Nevada (the Borealis Property), announced today that the Company poured and shipped 1,464 equivalent gold ounces in the month of May achieving more than half of its monthly target production rate within the first two full months of production. The year-to-date gold equivalents were produced at a cash cost of $908 per ounce.
James T. ONeil Jr., CEO of Gryphon Gold, commented, We continue to make solid progress with our production operations while investing in expanded production capacity. We have steadily poured gold since the last week of March and the final work on the Adsorption Desorption Recovery (ADR) plant was completed. We also finished our initial drill delineation program and confirmed our near term resource estimates which provides for an estimated 2-years of production as we ramp up to our target production rate. This is a critical first step in the development of our detailed mine plan.
We believe we can achieve an annual production rate of 25,000 to 30,000 ounces of gold equivalents by the end of calendar year 2012 once our expanded facilities are fully operational.
The Borealis Project Exploration and Development Program
With over 15,000 acres, the Borealis project was returned to gold production with the pouring of the first gold doré bar on March 30, 2012. Construction of the project had begun in June 2011 with the leaching cycle initiated in late September 2011. Gryphon Gold delivered 529,729 tons to the leach pad during fiscal 2012, which ended March 31, 2012 that contained 6,409 recoverable ounces (using a 40% recovery rate).
Gryphon Gold has undertaken a systematic district-scale drilling program designed to discover and delineate large gold deposits within the greater Borealis Property. Over the last two months, the Company drilled 46 Sonic holes for a total of 3,000 feet which support the development of a detailed mine plan that supports the Companys annual production rate goal. During fiscal 2013, the Company plans to continue its drilling program with the objective of expanding identified resources.
Mr. ONeil concluded, As we move forward, we recognize that its critical that the investment community and shareholders are kept current of our progress and have a solid understanding of the potential of our project and the value we are creating through disciplined management, detailed planning and solid execution. In order to focus managements time on the operations, we plan to adopt a more traditional quarterly schedule for release of our production results. To help in our efforts to broaden awareness of our progress, plans and strategy, we have retained Kei Advisors to assist in our communication and outreach efforts.
