“The Pampalo mine gold production in 2012 was 867 kg but the total contained gold in the Pampalo ore reserves was reduced only by 235 kg. This is the result of successful continuous mine site exploration which during 2012 nearly replaced the mined ore reserves” comments Markus Ekberg, CEO of Endomines.

Endomines has completed the installation of the new processing equipment of the processing plant and commenced the test runs for the increased capacity at its Pampalo Gold Mine Processing plant. The second grinding mill and increased flotation capacity will increase plant processing throughput to 45-50 tonnes/hour (annualized 380 000 tpa) before the end of February 2013.

The Board of Directors of Endomines AB has today taken the decision to proceed with increasing production capacity at Pampalo up to a maximum of 450,000 tonnes per annum.
