TMAC Reports Operating and Financial Results for Third Quarter of 2017

09.11.2017  |  Business Wire

TMAC Resources Inc. (TSX: TMR) (“TMAC” or the “Company”) is filing its Third Quarter 2017 Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion & Analysis for the period ended September 30, 2017. The documents may be found on the Company’s website at www.tmacresources.com or, once filed, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Please read this news release in conjunction with these documents.

Dr. Catharine Farrow, Chief Executive Officer of TMAC, stated, “We are pleased to have closed the public offering of shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $21.6 million concurrent with closing our private placement with RCF and Newmont for aggregate gross proceeds of $31.4 million, including the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, for a total of $53 million. We appreciate the support of our shareholders, old and new, as we navigate the ramp up of the plant to consistent plant operation at or near design throughput and recovery levels.”

Dr. Farrow went on to say, “TMAC continues to systematically work through the plant to achieve design recoveries and throughputs and all work remains on track from our update provided October 16, 2017. We are resolving the three previously identified issues: the installation of a dewatering cone to reduce excess water in the concentrate treatment plant, replacement of resin and changes to resin handling, and a design change to the distributor head for the cyclones that feed the flotation cells. A shipment of replacement resin will be introduced to the resin columns shortly, the dewatering cone has been installed and a new cyclone distributor head is being fabricated and is expected to arrive at site late this month. Our mining operations have performed as expected and the ore stockpile at the end of the quarter was 82,700 tonnes with an average grade of 16.6 g/t gold, including a portion of the stockpile grading more than 20 g/t gold. We are also pleased with the integrity of the Doris deposit as it relates to grade, continuity, hardness and geometallurgy. We reconfirm that the characteristics of the Doris ore have been in line with expectations and are not the cause of any complications in the plant recoveries.”
