Rambler Ships More High Grade Copper Concentrate
26,000 Wet Metric Tonnes Delivered to Date
LONDON, ENGLAND and BAIE VERTE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR--(Marketwired - Oct. 1, 2013) - Rambler Metals and Mining plc
(AIM:RMM) (TSX VENTURE:RAB) ('Rambler' or the 'Company') today announces that approximately 7,800 wet metric tonnes
('wmt') of copper concentrate has been shipped to international markets from the Company's bulk storage facility in
Goodyear's Cove, NL Canada. The Company's own sampling estimates an average grade of 30 per cent copper, 6.5 grammes per
tonne gold and 30 grammes per tonne silver.
This is the fourth shipment as part of the off-take agreement with Transamine Trading SA ('Transamine') and brings the
total to approximately 26,000 wmt since first concentrate production in late May 2012.
Since the last shipment in May 2013, the Company has been optimizing production through the Nugget Pond milling facility
with copper recovery over the past two months averaging 95 per cent, with an average run of mine head grade of
approximately 3.85 per cent copper. During this same period 83 wmt of copper concentrate (21 tonnes of contained copper
metal) was produced per day with some peak days of over 100 wmt of concentrate.
Following the shipment the Company still has over 1,300 wmt of concentrate in storage at its Goodyear's Cove Storage
Facility.
George Ogilvie, President and CEO of Rambler, commented:
"I am pleased to report that the Company continues to make good quality concentrate while overall copper recovery is
exceeding forecasted levels. We have now supplied 26,000 wmt of copper concentrate which is 30 per cent of our original
commitment to supply 85,000 wmt, after only 16 months of production, including a five month commissioning and ramp up
period. We are now producing in excess of 2,000 wmt of copper concentrate on a monthly basis with August and September
being 2,388 wmt and 2,484 wmt respectively."
