Pursuant to the same agreement, the Company has received all required approvals for the transfer of the mining license to Yantai and the revisions to the corporate structure. This is a very significant milestone as it allows for Yantai to officially mine, process, and sell gold within China..
Further to its agreement to acquire the remaining interest in the project, the Company and its mining contractor have been operating test mining at an average rate of over 1,150 tons per day since January 2010 at Song Jiagou. As of August 31 of this year the Company has produced 4,265 ounces of gold with an average sale price of USD $ 1,170 per ounce.
With initial production underway at Song Jiagou, the Company and its mining contractor partner, have been developing plans to increase the size of its processing facilities including a mill, tailings storage facility, new tailings line, water and power supply in anticipation of increasing its production to approximately 7,500 tonnes per day.
The new mill is designed to produce 6,000 tonnes per day in addition to the existing capacity. Simultaneously, the Company is building new tailings storage facilities capable of containing the current resources as well as providing additional capacity for future expansion. Construction of the mills and concentrator has moved ahead with break-neck speed -- 40% of the steel and concrete form has been completed within the period of two and a half months.
With revenues to date of over USD $5,000,000 and well advanced mine expansion plans, the Company will move its engineering studies forward as quickly as possible in order to maintain the shortest timelines possible to fully develop Song Jiagou.
In addition to the developments at Song Jiagou, the Company has received the second installment from the sale of its Sawayaerdun project (see Sept 18, 2009 news release). The Company continues to work with its legal counsel to close the JV company according to Chinese regulations and requirements in order to repatriate the proceeds.
