QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Dec. 6, 2012) - Robex Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RBX)(FRANKFURT:RB4) is pleased to inform its shareholders that the construction of the mine on the Mininko permit in Nampala is going very well.
The mobilization process is currently underway and equipment is arriving on site every day. The construction of the concrete plant and warehouse, as well as the installation of concrete bases for the building of the sentry gate is progressing very well (see photos at www.robexgold.com). Also, the construction of the second base of life necessary for workers and managers is being started and the construction of the analytical laboratory is in the final stages. As of next week, the layout of the fence surrounding the site will be implemented and the stripping work of the plant site and access to the pit and tailings facility will be initiated.
In addition, Robex is proud to present the team in place in Nampala who are presently working hard on the advancement of the project:
Mr. Régis Desbiens, VP Mine, Mr. André Drouin, metallurgist, Mr. François Dupuis, Construction Manager, Richard Samson, topographer, Mr. Claude Pelletier, Director of Procurements, Mr. Jeffrey Doodnath, Overseas Procurement Officer and Ms. Jacinthe Turcotte, administrative Director. Will also be posted soon; Mr. Alain Gauthier, Superintendent of mining operations, Mr. Jean-Pierre Pelletier, Earth Works Supervisor and Mr. Yvan Garon, mechanical and civil structure construction supervisor.
Reminder on the Nampala mining project
The Company has decided to start gold production with a plant having a capacity of around 1,500 tonnes per day ("t/d") and increase this, sequentially, notably through internal cash flows, until the threshold of 6,000 t/d as envisioned in the BFS (approx. 50,000 oz Au per annum) is reached. The expansions are planned as soon as the construction of the first phase is completed. We believe that being in production should open up access to debt financing required for expansions if necessary. In addition, the possible exercise of warrants issued in this financing is specifically designed to address those expansions. Robex continues its exploration on Mininko (Nampala) with the objective to double its resources so as to potentially increase its production to about 13,000 t/d.
