Overview
Ore mined and processed have now reached circa 100,000 tonnes of
ore per month, all of which has been extracted from Zone III with
Zone II yet to come into production. Tonnes processed in the third
quarter of 2021 were up 5.9% on that achieved in the second quarter
of 2021, whilst a marginal fall in the zinc head grade has resulted
in zinc metal in concentrate production in line with the second
quarter of 2021.
Chairman Mladen Ninkov commented: "The third quarter operating
results continue the wonderful production results from the second
quarter. I am particularly delighted with the normalised throughput
averaging over 100,000 tonnes per month in the quarter for the
first time at the Caijiaying Mine. This bodes extraordinarily well
for next year once the Chinese New Year celebrations, the Winter
Olympic Games and the Para Olympic Games conclude at the end of the
first quarter of 2022. Nevertheless, we remain cautious for the
remainder of 2021 in light of a possible restriction of all mining
and processing activities, including Caijiaying, in the lead up to
the Winter Olympic games."
