PRODUCTION INCREASES AT CAIJIAYING ZINC GOLD MINE
Griffin Mining Limited ('Griffin' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that
throughput at the Caijiaying mine processing facilities ('the Mill') has been
increased from 23 tonnes of ore per hour (the equivalent of 200,000 tonnes of
ore per annum) as specified in the project feasibility study, to 32 tonnes of
ore per hour (the equivalent of 275,000 tonnes of ore per annum) on a consistent
basis without any detrimental effect on recovery rates. This has been achieved
without incurring any additional capital expenditure.
It is expected that further increases in throughput at the Mill will be achieved
during the year.
Mladen Ninkov, Griffin's Chairman, commented as follows:
'Thanks again to the extraordinary efforts of the management and staff,
Caijiaying is now delivering greater throughput which will be reflected in more
zinc concentrate being produced and increased revenues. Once again another
wonderful result for Griffin's shareholders.'
