White Tiger Gold Announces Production Update for Lamaque Mine

21.02.2012  |  Marketwired

ROAD TOWN, TORTOLA, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS -- (Marketwire) -- 02/21/12 -- White Tiger Gold ('White Tiger' or the 'Company') (TSX: WTG) is pleased to provide a production update for the Lamaque Mine in Val d'Or, Quebec.


Highlights:



-- Daily tonnage mined at Lamaque increases sharply with addition of North
Wall long-hole stopes

-- Average tonnes per day mined for the past week at 1286 tpd, with last 5
days exceeding 1600 tpd.


White Tiger previously announced on February 3, 2012, that it was to start mining long-hole stopes in the North Wall. After the initial cut blasts the Company is pleased to announce that mine has been able to ramp up production such that over the week ending February 19, 2012 it has achieved an average ore tonnes mined of 1286 tonnes per day, with the last 5 days of the week exceeding 1600 tpd. This a considerable improvement over the average of 757 tpd achieved in 2011, and highlights the benefits the long-hole stopes bring to productivity on the mine.


'These initial production results demonstrate a significant improvement in mining productivity for the Lamaque mine. Our objective is to stabilise the production from the North Wall and to continue to push for production improvement towards the planned long term production rate of 2000 tonnes per day,' said Daniel Major, President and CEO of White Tiger Gold.
