Ressources Appalaches (TSX VENTURE:APP) (FRANKFURT:OU3) is pleased to announce
the first gold bar poured at the Dufferin Mine in Nova Scotia. Final gold
recovery is being optimized at the mine. A first dore (bullion) was poured and
delivered to Johnson Matthey refinery in Ontario for final refining. Production
results will be published after the commissioning period when the mine reaches
full capacity.


Entire production circuit is in operation: mining, milling and concentration.
Commissioning and optimization of the production is continuing as planned to
reach full production capacity of 300 tons per day in August. The average plant
production in June was more than 50% with peaks in excess of 200 tons per day.
Recent upgrading on the grinding system: ball mill and cone crusher have been
made to improve productivity.


Work is currently concentrated on optimization of the dore smelting furnace, on
the adjustment of the laboratory and the installation of new equipment to
optimize the concentration of gold. At the beginning of the circuit, a new
recovery system (sluice) for coarse gold of more than 3 mm in diameter will be
installed and at the end of the circuit, a small mill (rod mill) to facilitate
uniform particle size for separation of gold from sulfides.


Hiring staff is now complete with 80 full-time employees hired including 20
miners and 15 plant operators and teams of geologists, engineers, mechanics and
electricians. Ore mining and processing plant operates 24 hours a day and 7 days
per week with teams of workers in rotation. 


Alain Hupe, President and CEO said: ''The project is continuing to advance
closer to sustained full production capacity and we are proud to begin producing
gold in Nova Scotia. We thank our team for the dedication and professionalism
they have demonstrated in achieving this important milestone.''
