Operational Update

China Nonferrous Gold Limited (AIM: CNG), the mineral exploration and development company currently developing the Pakrut gold project in the Republic of Tajikistan, today provides the following operational update with regard to its Pakrut gold project.

Construction of the underground mine is progressing well and remains on track for completion this year, with production planned to commence immediately thereafter.

The main decline at the mine has reached a depth of 600 metres, out of a planned total depth of 1,800 metres, while the west ventilation access decline has reached a depth of 285 metres, out of a planned total depth of 520 metres.

In addition to work on the underground mine, construction work pertaining to associated mine infrastructure is also progressing to plan. Construction of the access road and bridge to the mine site will soon be completed and construction of the electricity power line and substation is expected to complete by the end of September 2014.

The tender process for contracts relating to the construction of the various processing plants and the tailing dam has commenced with contracts expected to be awarded shortly. The majority of equipment required for the processing plants has been purchased and is currently being shipped to the mine site.

Away from mine construction activities, the Company is in the process of finalising a report on its 2013 drilling and exploration programme, with results expected to be announced shortly.

Commenting, David Tang, Managing Director, China Nonferrous Gold Limited, said:

“I am very pleased with the progress the Company has made towards bringing the Pakrut gold project into production. All construction activity is on track and I am confident that production will commence later this year as planned.”
