PRESS RELEASE 9 OCTOBER 2015
CMGP COMMISSIONS PROCESS PLANT
The Board of Metals X Limited ('Metals X' or 'the Company') is very pleased that it has achieved a significant milestone with the dry commissioning of the Bluebird Plant at its Central Murchison Gold Project ('CMGP'). Further the Company expects it will move to wet commissioning on low-grade in the
ensuing week and first gold pours are expected before the end of October 2015.
As has been previously advised, open pit mining started in June 2015 at the Batavia and Whangamata Pits. Plans are in place to add the mining of the Reedy's Pits (Jack Ryan, Rand and Callisto) to the production schedule as well as some remnant mining at Bluebird and the Surprise Group of open pits. Current ROM ore stocks ahead of the process plant totalled 281,548 tonnes at
1.24 g/t Au containing some 11,247 oz of gold, consisting of 91,465 tonnes at 1.68g/t Au of high grade open pit ore and 190,083 tonnes at 1.03 g/t Au low grade open pit ore.
Underground mining at Paddy's Flat commenced in August with the first ore having been intersected. Underground mining at Great Fingall has been delayed by permitting matters and the re-evaluation of a prior phase of open pit mining. Plans to commence mining on the Triton/Emu zones at Reedy's in Q4 of the 2015/2016 FY are advancing.
The management team of Metals X continue to shuffle the operational schedules from the many mining choices available at the CMGP with an objective of limiting downside risk and capital exposure.
