“Mining during the quarter took place from high-grade areas as planned and earlier announced. This resulted in the highest quarterly gold production since inception of the mine”, said Markus Ekberg, CEO of Endomines.

“Moreover, our continuous safety improvement efforts are also producing results, and this was the second quarter without any Lost Time Injuries at Pampalo. Our own workforce has now worked 460 days without accidents, and our contractors over 100 days. I am also pleased to report that our processing plant capacity expansion project is progressing as planned”, continues Markus Ekberg, CEO of Endomines.

In addition to the record gold production, no cash settlement of our gold hedge will be realized during Q2/2012, as agreed with Nordea Bank plc. in April. These two facts combined will have a positive effect on the company’s cash flow for the quarter.
