Luna Gold Announces First Quarter Gold Production of 19,414 Ounces

14.04.2014  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 14, 2014) - Luna Gold Corp. (TSX:LGC)(LMA:LGC)(OTCQX:LGCUF), ("Luna" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its gold production at the Aurizona Gold Mine for the three month period ended March 31st, 2014 (the "First Quarter 2014").

The Aurizona Gold Mine produced 19,414 ounces of gold during the First Quarter 2014 at an average grade processed of 1.40 grams per tonne.

Geoff Chater, Luna's President and CEO, stated, "We are delighted with this start to 2014 which is a compliment to our operations team. We were able to overcome an unscheduled week-long shutdown in January as well as challenging mining conditions due to the onset of the wet season in Brazil (January-June). First Quarter 2014 gold production benefited from higher than budgeted saprolite ore grade processed, which was offset by lower ore mining rates due to the impact of seasonal rainfall."
