Woulfe Mining Announces First Blast of Production Portal
of Sangdong Project
|
Vancouver, BC, Canada -- October 9th 2012 --
Woulfe Mining Corp. ("Woulfe" or the
"Company") (TSX-V: WOF, OTCQX: WFEMF,
Frankfurt: OZ4)
|
is pleased to announce that the first blast took place as
scheduled on October 8th, 2012 at the Sangdong tungsten/
molybdenum project in South Korea. The new portal has
been named the "Woulfe drive", after the parent
company.
|
The initial production area is only 50 metres from the
current portal position. The development of the six metre
square access drive, will take 60 days to reach the
initial mining area.
|
Having all mining permits in place, Woulfe is able to
focus on mining the high grade eastern section of the
main and footwall mineralization, over the next 12
months. Run of mine ore will be stockpiled on surface
pending the completion of the crushing plant mid next
year. The ore will then be crushed to passing 10mm, and
then stockpiled until the mill and flotation plant are
completed in the latter part of 2013.
|
Woulfe currently has 68 staff on site, mining and
preparing the site for construction. Trial mining and
exploration has yielded over ten thousand (10,000) tonnes
currently stockpiled on surface.
|
Brian Wesson, CEO & President commented: "Having
lost time completing Woulfe's strategic agreements
with IMC, we are now completely focused on bringing
Sangdong to production and achieving positive cash
flow".
