MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct 16, 2014) - Cyprium Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CUG)(TSX VENTURE:CUG.DB)
- Highlights of the transaction:
- First deliveries mill feed to the Aldama plant expected shortly
- Cyprium to purchase mill feed, process and sell concentrates
- Use of the Aldama plant by Cyprium to also serve as optimization of plant operations ahead of production from Las Cristinas
Cyprium Mining Corp. ("Cyprium" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CUG)(TSX VENTURE:CUG.DB) is pleased to announce that, through its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary Cypriumex S.A. de C.V., it has signed a mill feed purchase agreement with SkyFall Industries S.A. de C.V. ("SkyFall") a Chihuahua, Mexico based company specializing in the offering of services for small and medium mines for mineral treatment and commercialization of concentrates. Under the agreement of an indefinite period, Cyprium will immediately start buying mill feed from SkyFall for processing at the Aldama plant, with first deliveries expected in early November. Cyprium recently announced that it has secured the exclusive use of a 100 metric tons per day flotation plant located outside the City of Chihuahua. Under that five year agreement, Cyprium will use the plant on a variable cost basis and will be responsible for the supervision of all metallurgic processes, including quantitative chemical analysis, assaying of samples and determining feed grades.
"Our partnership with SkyFall is a positive development for Cyprium and our vibrant local mining sector which is characterized by several small to medium size miners but a lack in efficiently run processing facilities. We believe that SkyFall's long history in dealing with and purchasing minerals from several small and medium sized miners in Chihuahua State when combined with Cyprium's professionally run processing plant will be a winning proposition for all involved", said Andre St Michel, President and CEO of Cyprium. "We are finalizing plans to receive the first shipment from SkyFall and are expecting to start treating minerals at the Aldama plant shortly."
"When we start and ramp up production at our Las Cristinas property we intend to process minerals from both our property and SkyFall's minerals at the Aldama plant in order to maintain the plant operating at full capacity," Mr Andre St Michel concluded.
About Cyprium Mining Corporation
We operate solely in Northern Mexico where our senior management team resides. We only look for projects that have a potential for profitable production in the short-term and a large exploration potential. Cyprium is committed to maximizing the potential of projects by funding exploration programs mainly through cash flows generated by production instead of funding such programs strictly through equity offering thus limiting shareholder dilution. Cyprium prioritizes projects which are easily accessible and close to large urban centers. Cyprium, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cypriumex S.A. de C.V. provides tolling services to miners located in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. Cyprium also owns 51% of Coyame Copper SA de CV ("Coyame Copper"), a Chihuahua, Mexico based mining exploration company and has an option to increase its stake in Coyame Copper to 70% for a consideration of US $1.2 million payable over a period of eighteen months following the exercise of the option. Coyame Copper's Las Cristinas Project consist of four adjacent exploration concessions (Las Cristinas, La Parrita, La Verde and La Lagrimosa) covering 684 hectares. Coyame Copper also owns production assets located outside the town of Coyame, Mexico.

Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, operational risks in the completion of Company's anticipated projects, delays or changes in plans with respect to the development of Company's anticipated projects by Company's third party relationships, risks affecting the ability to develop projects, risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions, the ability to attract key personnel, and the inability to raise additional capital.

Although Cyprium Mining has made an initial production decision based on historical production records and the results of the recent sampling, a feasibility study has not been completed and there is no certainty that the proposed operation will be economically or technically viable. The completion of each phase of drilling and development is contingent on the successful completion of the previous one.
