Endomines has been informed that Dragon terminates the existing agreement on processing flotation concentrate from Pampalo at the Dragon Mining Svartliden leaching plant. According to Dragon Mining the Svartliden Operations has experienced elevated levels of copper in the discharge water. The copper levels are low but still at a level that the water must be cleaned in order to apply with the Svartliden Environmental Permit. The cost of cleaning the water is deemed to be significant by Dragon Mining management.
Endomines will immediately commence discussions with other customers for the flotation concentrate.
'The elevated levels of copper in our concentrate may partly be related to mining from the new mineralizations. The decision made by Dragon Mining is ill-timed as we have lately been processing ore from relatively high-grade areas in our processing plant. We presume, however, that Dragon Mining will comply with all termination clauses in our Agreement, to allow us adequate time to reach an agreement with other customers' comments Markus Ekberg, CEO of Endomines.
