Goldrich Mining Company provided a review of development and pre-production activities for the 2014 season at its Chandalar gold project in Alaska. To date Goldrich NyacAu Placer, LLC, which is a 50/50 joint-venture between the Company and NyacAU, LLC, has invested over $17 million in equipment and infrastructure to prepare for commercial-scale gold mining on the Little Squaw placer deposit. Additionally, the Company is conducting hard-rock exploration on the 100% controlled lode gold targets that occur across the property.

Investment into Chandalar by GNP during 2014 totaled approximately $3.6 million. All costs up to commercial production are required to be funded by NyacAU and will be paid back from cash flow from gold production. A new mining permit obtained in 2013 expanded the mine site area, including the area for a new airstrip, from approximately 10 to 350 acres.

This provided an increased area for stockpiling topsoil, a larger settling pond system with greater capacity to ensure water quality and availability, and room to allow concurrent mine reclamation as the project advances. The new site will facilitate maximum and efficient production under the expanded mine plan. Major accomplishments during 2014 included completion of the plant relocation to a lower and broader part of the valley, construction of new water ponds, and build out of the new expanded plant.

GNP successfully mobilized and installed a new grizzly feeder on site as well as support frames for additional gravel screens and gold recovery tables, which will be mounted next spring. Full capacity of the feeder is expected to be approximately 600 bank cubic yards per hour and will be realized as additional gravel screens and gold recovery tables are added in stages through 2016. Because of the substantial increase in plant capacity, GNP will transport seven additional forty-ton rock trucks over the winter trail to the mine site, bringing the fleet total to thirteen trucks in all.

The winter trail is scheduled to begin in February. The total mine preparation expenditures to complete the mine are comparable to total costs, adjusted for inflation, as estimated in the 2009 preliminary assessment study for a similar mine plane. Plant and mine construction for the first stage of production are scheduled for completion in June 2015.
