Commenting on the ore production milestone Intermin’s Managing Director, Mr Jon Price said:

“First gold production at Teal is a significant milestone for the Company and opens up a new mining centre in the Western Australian goldfields given the significant exploration success to date.

“Despite recent heavy rainfall slowing the mining schedule, it is extremely pleasing to see Teal now performing well with tonnages and grades in the north of the pit matching our expectations. We now look forward to continuous production that will generate cash to grow the business through selffunded exploration and development of our mining pipeline.”
