Hambledon announces that it has temporarily suspended operations at its mineral process plant whilst a leak in tailings dam 3 is repaired. It is anticipated that the plant could resume operations on 7 November 2011. All relevant authorities have been appraised of the situation and are being kept fully informed. The Company believes that as a result, production for November 2011 will be reduced by approximately 500 oz.

A further announcement will be made as soon as further material information becomes available.
