GV Gold expects 1.5 tons gold production from Krasny
Moscow, Oct 6 - RIA/Prime. Future gold production from the Krasny project in
the Irkutsk region is estimated at around 1.5 tons annually, as the GV Gold CEO
Sergey Vasilyev said to Vestnik Zolotopromyshlennika on the sidelines of the
MINEX 2016 forum. 

GV Gold owns 51% in the Krasny project and the remaining 49% belongs to the
Swedish company Kopy Goldfields. 

"By the end of February, we plan to complete the Feasibility Study of
construction development of this deposit and in March, a decision will be taken
to commence engineering design and start construction of the first stage
production line targeting the oxidized ore" - reported Vasilyev. He pointed out
that year 2017 will be devoted to design planning, and in 2018, following the
completion of the construction on its other project Ugakhan, Vysochaishy will
be able to move its personnel and equipment to start construction on Krasny." 

He also mentioned that by the end of 2018 - beginning of 2019, the partners
will be able to commission the first stage production. "Estimated capacity of
the first stage mill for the oxidized ore, which accounts for about 10 tons,
will be 800 thousand tons of ore per year, with an annual gold production of
about 1.5 tons (48 koz)"- said Vasilyev. 

According to him, exploration activities on the Krasny project will continue.
"We see potential for Krasny to become a big deposit, the object is still
significantly underexplored, since only the reserves of the first stage are
prepared for development. Upon completion of the exploration program, we target
to increase the resource base and prove between 50 and 100 tons of gold
reserves for the deposit which will affect the decision on development of the
second production stage" - added the GV Gold CEO. 

Joint Stock Company Vysochaishy is a top ten gold producer in Russia. The
company holds a portfolio of 13 license blocs and the total resource base
includes 632 tons of gold (20.32 Moz). In 2015 the company increased production
by 2.6% to 5.6 tons."
