Anaconda's Pine Cove Mine sells over 3,900 ounces of gold; generates $5.5M in revenue in Q1 FY2015

18.09.2014  |  CNW

TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2014 /CNW/ - Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or "the Company") - (TSX:ANX) announces certain financial and operating results from the fiscal first quarter ended August 31, 2014. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company sold 3,933 ounces of gold and generated $5,511,612 in revenue at an average sales price of $1,401 per ounce. The first quarter of fiscal 2015 sales volume and revenue were both approximately 4% lower than the first quarter of fiscal 2014 when the Company sold 4,096 ounces at an average gold sales price of $1,399 per ounce and generated $5,731,783 in revenue. The Company expects to file its full financial statements by October 10, 2014.

President and CEO, Dustin Angelo, stated, "Year after year, we have been able to consistently sell approximately 4,000 ounces in the first quarter. The Company would have been able to exceed sales volume of 4,000 ounces in the first quarter of this fiscal year if it not for some mechanical problems incurred in August related to our crusher. Management continues to work on process improvements at the mill to mitigate downtime risks and prepare for the upcoming winter weather. We've seen signs of those improvements this quarter where we achieved 95% availability, 84% recovery and throughput of 963 tonnes per operating day, all on the high end of our operating metrics."

FY Q1 2015 Operations Overview:

The Pine Cove mill operated for 87 days during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 at an availability rate of 95% versus 93% in the same period in the previous fiscal year. For the quarter, the mill processed 83,782 dry tonnes of ore at an average head grade of 1.80 grams per tonne. Overall mill recovery was 84%, compared to 83% in Q1 of fiscal 2014, primarily due to operational changes leading to higher leach-circuit recovery. The mill's run rate for the quarter was 963 tonnes per operating day.

The mine operated for 64 days in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 producing 89,239 tonnes of ore and 492,040 tonnes of waste. Mining production increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 to provide waste material for the construction of the tailings dam expansion project, which remains on schedule for completion before the end of the calendar year. Blasting design and procedures have been standardized for fiscal 2015 to preserve pit-wall integrity and achieve required wall angles. New excavating procedures were also implemented for grade control to reduce dilution and improve recovery, which have proven effective.

The following table summarizes the key operating statistics for the first quarters ended August 31, 2014 and 2013:
