London, United Kingdom. 18th March 2013.
PG5 anticipates production levels to break through the 4300 troy ounce barrier
this year, now that production is under-way at Bagoe River, one of the company's
concessions acquired earlier in 2011-2012. Bagoe River, Mali has proven to be
substantially rich in gold deposits and is set to account for approximately 60%
of PG5's overall output this year. Processing volumes are in the region of 15
tonnes per hour (of material) using the company's latest
technologically
advanced , environmentally friendly processing equipment. Volumes across all of
PG5's operations are set to continue to increase up until the end of 2014 with
projections running to 1,000 troy ounces monthly production rate. The gears are
steadily shifting towards a concentrated effort in expansion and increasing of
production to satisfy investors and stakeholders.
Talking about PG5's production expectations for 2013, company founder and CEO
Jacky Pluton commented " We are now at a pivotal time in the company's young
history having successfully transitioned what we have affectionately termed, the
"test years". We are confident to do safe and profitable business in Mali
despite large scale gold mining being a relatively young industry and
considerably underexploited, we are poised for growth " said Pluton. "The last
'test' years saw the company focus largely on small scale river dredging across
its portfolio in preparation for a planned increase in production output for
this year. This is definitely a strategic move on our part, which has enabled
the company to fully explore and more importantly, test, it's operational
logistics in readiness for this bold expansion. We are ready to take our
production levels to another level this year" said Pluton.
Since its in inception in 2011, PG5 has been steadfast in making a number of key
acquisitions, strengthening its governmental relations and commencing small
scale river dredging with some remarkable success.
Commenting further Pluton added " We have guaranteed the future of our mining
effort with more than 10 concessions in various stages of exploration and have
further concessions planned for later on this year. We are delighted that
production is now fully under-way at Bagoe River which means that we are on
course to reach projected targets during 2013 and 2014. At the time of our
company's listing on the GXG Stock Exchange in London, we estimated projected
reserves of over 800,000 ounces of gold worth an estimated USD 1.4 billion in
today's market. We are now actively engaged with some of the best sustainable
technology available and will make further announcements on progress in the
coming months that we are confident will impress stakeholders" added Pluton.
