Lundin debuts Export of Gold Doré

Lundin Gold reports the first export of gold concentrate and doré bars from Ecuador.  The first shipment of concentrate totaling eight containers, containing approximately 180 tonnes of concentrate, left the Port of Guayaquil.

 

Ron Hochstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lundin Gold, stated "Our first shipment to Boliden's smelting facility in Harjavalta, Finland marks another milestone for Fruta del Norte and Ecuador, as this shipment represents the first export from a large-scale mining operation in Ecuador."

 

Shortly thereafter, on December 12th, the Company also shipped its first doré bars to a refinery in Switzerland.

 

The commissioning of the process plant is entering its final stages as the Carbon in Leach circuit is now in operation.  Focus now is on ramp up of the process plant to full production and target recoveries, forecast to be reached in Q2 2020.

Lundin Gold is committed to delivering value to its shareholders, while simultaneously providing economic and social benefits to impacted communities, fostering a healthy and safe workplace and minimizing the environmental impact.
