Dundee Precious Metals Announces Ada Tepe Successfully Reaches Design Throughput and Recovery

27.09.2019  |  GlobeNewswire

TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2019 - Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX: DPM) (“DPM” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Ada Tepe Mine has successfully completed ramp-up activities and has been operating at the full design tonnage at the mine and processing plant of 2,500 tonnes per day at 85% gold recovery in concentrate for a period of 10 days.

“We are extremely excited to see the operation achieve and sustain design tonnages and recoveries in September as expected,” stated Rick Howes, President and CEO. “This is yet another pivotal milestone that will help transition Dundee Precious Metals to a new tier of gold producers and growth in free cash flow.”

As previously disclosed in the Company’s press release dated August 30, 2019, construction of the larger integrated mine waste facility (“IMWF”) cells were completed as planned, and settlement time of tailings has improved allowing plant design capacity to be achieved. Additional cells have also been designed and construction commenced that will provide further flexibility going forward.

During the most recent ramp-up period in September, the mill has been able to process higher grades that were stockpiled during commissioning, helping to offset the lower throughput while the additional IMWF cells were being constructed. Ada Tepe is still expected to produce between 45,000 and 60,000 ounces of gold contained in concentrate in 2019 (refer to the DPM Second Quarter Report dated July 30, 2019 found on the Company website at www.dundeeprecious.com and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com).
