About Sino Gold
Sino Gold is the leading international gold exploration and mining company in China and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX Code:SGX) and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK Code:1862).
The 82%-owned Jinfeng Gold Mine in southern China�s Guizhou Province and is now the second largest gold mine in China with 2008 gold production of 151,000 ounces. Jinfeng�s gold production is planned to increase as the processing plant is de-bottlenecked and as higher-grade ore from the underground mine supplements ore from the open pit.
The 95%-owned White Mountain Gold Mine in northeast China�s Jilin Province and commenced commercial gold production in January 2009. Upon reaching design production rates, White Mountain will produce an average of 65,000 ounces of gold annually.
The high-grade Eastern Dragon Project in northern China�s Heilongjiang Province has excellent potential to produce very low-cost gold and is being rapidly progressed towards becoming Sino Gold�s third mine.
Sino Gold continues to assess the potential of the Beyinhar Project in Inner Mongolia to be developed into an open-pit, heap-leach gold operation.
Total gold production from the Jinfeng and White Mountain Mines for calendar 2009 is planned to be in the range of 210,000 to 230,000 ounces at a cash operating cost of less than US$400/ounce.
With the planned development of Eastern Dragon and Beyinhar, Sino Gold is targeting annual gold production of more than 400,000 ounces at a cash cost of ~US$300/ounce by 2012.
