West Red Lake Gold Reflects on Madsen Mine Achievements To Date - ForexTV

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the Madsen Mine in Ontario, Canada, on track to start operating in a few months, West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“West Red Lake Gold” or the “Company”) (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) looks back at 22 months of achievements that have brought the project to this point. “As we process our bulk sample - producing gold and further reinforcing that our systematic approach will successfully deliver Madsen as a new, high-grade gold mine in Canada - it is time to reflect on how West Red Lake has delivered on its goals,” said Shane Williams, President and CEO. “We bought a complicated asset, assessed needs, and got to work. We stated specific goals and we have delivered on those goals. Our plan has always been to restart Madsen as a sustainable mine and, with anticipated production just months away, we are on track to deliver this project from purchase to production in only two years.” West Red Lake Gold completed the purchase of the Madsen Mine in June 2023. By October 2023 the Company published its first set of plans to advance Madsen and the nearby Rowan project. In June 2024 the Company added detail to those plans through a list of projects designed to advance Madsen to production in 2025. Below are listed the stated operational goals and the accomplishments on each to date. Goal Stated October 2023, Restated June 2024: Complete 39,000 metres (“m”) of underground drilling by the end of 2024. Accomplishment: From October 2023 through Q1 2025, the Company has completed 88,191 metres of drilling from underground at Madsen. Approximately 90% of those metres have been definition drilling, which references drilling into known resources to tighten drill hole spacing and upgrade confidence ahead of stope engineering. Not only does the tight-spaced drilling increase confidence in the resource but it also allows the team to effectively define very high-grade zones of gold mineralization that may not be fully represented in the life-of-mine resource model. A perfect example of this would be the 114.26 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 10.6m recently announced from South Austin (see press release dated February 26, 2025). This high-grade panel between 8 Level and 10 Level (400m and 500m vertical depth) has seen very little historic development and is a near-term focus for additional drilling.   Approximately 10% of the metres were focused on resource expansion targets, often with good success. Most of the expansion metres were drilled in late 2023 and early 2024 targeting North Austin. Initial results were quite favorable including 27.15 g/t Au over 10.28m and 22.31 g/t Au over 8.5m (see press release dated November 21, 2023). Additional drilling at North Austin is planned for 2025 to continue extending this zone down plunge. Goal Stated October 2023: Complete 3,200 metres of underground development at Madsen in 2024. Accomplishment: West Red Lake completed 3,065 metres of underground development at Madsen in 2024. To date in 2025 the Company has completed another 1,178 metres. These metres are in addition to the development of the Connection Drift. Goal Stated June 2024: Complete a Pre Feasibility Study (“PFS”) for the restart of the Madsen Mine. Results were originally planned for release in November 2024; this timeline was slightly extended to allow for further mine design optimization. Accomplishment: the results of the PFS were published on January 7th. The PFS validated the rationale to restart the Madsen Mine by generating strong economic results, including almost $70 million in average annual free cash flow over 6 full production years. West Red Lake has since described the PFS as the ‘base case’ for the Madsen Mine’s restart. That statement stems from the conservative nature of the PFS, in particular that Reserves were determined at a gold price of US$1,680 per oz. If all other modifying factors stay equal, a higher gold price would result in a larger Reserve and more favourable mine economics. Goal Stated June 2024, Refined September 2024: Initiate a test mining program to assess longhole stope and cut-and-fill mining methods on the range of underground mining scenarios at Madsen, as an essential step in derisking the return to mining. Accomplishment: Six months of test mining successfully produced the bulk sample. The test mining program has also provided indispensable knowledge of how to mine safely and effectively at Madsen, which in-house mining crews will now take with them into operations. In addition, the test mining program proved the mineability of ore directly adjacent to historic stopes. Lack of demonstrated mineability meant that ore adjacent to old stopes was at risk of being unsafe or dilutive to mine. Test mining, in places, blasted directly up against old stopes; the test was successful in that the stopes remained competent and the legacy backfill remained in place, which meant the area was safe to mine and the blasted mineralization was not diluted. Figure 1: Ore from Stope 3 of the bulk sample stockpiled on surface. Goal Stated June 2024, Refined September 2024: Use a test mining program to generate a bulk sample to enable a reconciliation test between expected and actual tonnes and grade for planned stopes. Accomplishment: A bulk sample program of 6 stopes totalling at least 15,000 tonnes is almost complete. The sixth stope is currently being mined. Three of the six stopes have been processed through the Madsen mill. Independent experts have observed the entire project and will confirm the validity of the results, which will compare the tonnes and grade expected in each stope (based on the Company’s detailed internal mine plan) with the tonnes and grade actually mined. The Company expects to release these results by May. Goal Stated October 2023, Refined June 2024: Complete a 1,200-metre haulage way connecting the East and West Portals of the Madsen Mine by March 31st, 2025. Accomplishment: The 1,448-metre Connection Drift was completed on March 28th. This underground highway, as Vice President Technical Services Maurice Mostert describes it, is an essential part of the Company’s plan to move material efficiently at the Madsen Mine. It was the largest of the capital projects planned in support of restarting the Madsen Mine and it was completed on time. Figure 2: The face of the last blast for the Connection Drift. Figure 3: The Connection Drift with blasting complete. The muck from the last blast is still on the floor and the meshing and bolting from the west advance is visible from the east side. Goal Stated June 2024: Complete a 4-metre tailings dam lift to ensure adequate capacity to support tailings management. Accomplishment: A 4-metre tailings dam lift was completed on October 8th. This major earthworks project was completed on schedule and under budget. Goal Stated June 2024: Procure and install a camp to house 100 workers at the Madsen site. Accomplishment: A 114-person camp opened for operation at the Madsen Mine on March 18th, with junior suites, a cafeteria, a gym, and full staffing. Goal Stated June 2024: Install a permanent primary crusher. Accomplishment: A permanent primary crusher is operating at the Madsen Mine. A Terex brand crusher with a nominal capacity of 145 tons per hour – well in excess of Madsen current needs – was delivered to the mine site on November 5th, 2024. It was commissioned and operational within two weeks. Goal Stated June 2024: Procure, install, and staff a mine dry sufficient to support miners of a full-operations Madsen mine team to transition in and out of shifts. Accomplishment: The constructed mine dry received its occupancy permit on April 3rd, 2025, and is now welcoming workers. Figure 4: The main room of the men’s dry prior to occupancy. Goal Stated June 2024: Continue dewatering the mine. Accomplishment: Dewatering has almost reached level 17, an achievement of 70 vertical metres since dewatering started in the fall of 2023. The 17 Level of the Madsen Mine has not been dry since 1972. Dewatering to this level and beyond will enable the Company to develop level access to large promising areas of the resource in preparation for definition drilling and mining and to explore deeper areas of the mine where we have evidence of both grade and tonnage extension. Goal Stated June 2024: Install two evaporator fans with the ability to manage 2,000 cubic metres of water daily, to increase overall water management capacity at the mine site. Accomplishment: Two evaporator fans were installed and commissioned in the summer of 2024. Figure 5: Two evaporator fans operating over the polishing pond at the Madsen Mine Goal Stated October 2023: Publish updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Rowan by Q4 2023. Accomplishment: An updated MRE for Rowan was published in March 2024. The Company is now completing an internal scoping study to evaluate the potential for a direct shipping ore (“DSO”) scenario at Rowan. Goal Stated October 2023: Restart the Madsen Mine in 2025. Accomplishment: With the mill running smoothly, definition drilling and mine engineering having outlined over 15 months of mine-ready tonnes, the Connection Drift complete, mining crews operating effectively, development crews creating access to all needed mining areas, staffing up to needed levels, maintenance working well, and stockpiles underway, the Madsen Mine is on track to start operating by H2 2025. Additional Accomplishments West Red Lake has purchased and commissioned 19 major pieces of underground equipment for mine operations, at a cost of $5.7 million. The rolling stock on site is now sufficient for startup. The Company implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system across the business. An ERP system is the backbone of expenditure decisions and tracking within a complex operation like a mine and such a system reaches into every key facet of the mine: maintenance scheduling, supply procurement, personnel planning, capital project management, and more. An ERP system fit to the task is essential for smooth mine operations, which is why the Company dedicated significant time and effort to testing, implementing, and training personnel on a robust new system. There are now over 200 employees at the Madsen Mine. Establishing a workforce of this scale spanning all roles with suitable aptitudes is a challenge. West Red Lake is glad to have been able to work through this challenge over the last 18 months of active mine site operations, as with that time the Company feels confident it has built a competent team to deliver operationally at Madsen. West Red Lake has dedicated significant effort to developing robust safety systems and a strong safety culture at Madsen. Through 2024 the mine had a Total Reportable Incident Frequency of 1.0, versus an Ontario mining average of 4.53. The Company is committed to maintaining strong safety practices every day at Madsen. “Restarting the Madsen mine as a sustainable, efficient operation required a multitude of projects,” said Mr. Williams. “I am proud to say that we delivered every named project on or close to schedule, while also completing a host of other requirements from staffing the mine to securing funding. Collectively, these efforts have Madsen on track to start operating in H2 2025, which is on the schedule we stated since the start.” QUALIFIED PERSON The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Maurice Mostert, P.Eng., Vice President of Technical Services for West Red Lake Gold and the Qualified Person for technical services at the West Red Lake Project, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Q1-2025 Production Results, Operational Highlights and Board Change - ForexTV

Q1-2025 Production Results, Operational Highlights and Board Change Serabi Gold plc (“Serabi” or the “Company”) (AIM:SRB, TSX:SBI, OTCQX:SRBIF), the Brazilian focused gold mining and development company, is pleased to announce the Company’s first quarter production results and operating highlights for FY2025 (all financial amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated). Q1-2025 HIGHLIGHTS Gold production of 10,013 ounces, an 11% increase from Q1-2024.Cash as at 31 March 2025 of $26.5 million vs $22.2 million as at 31 December 2024.   Net cash at quarter-end (after interest bearing loans and lease liabilities) of $21.1 million versus $16.2 million as at 31 December 2024.The Company remains on track to achieve 2025 consolidated production guidance of 44,000 – 47,000 ounces gold.Reported initial exploration update from the brownfield exploration opportunities at Palito Complex, Coringa Mine and São Domingos target, which is part of Phase II of the Company’s growth strategy; initial exploration model indicates a potential for a satellite orebody to the Palito Complex – link to press release.The Company is currently assessing appropriate mechanisms to return capital to shareholders. Mike Hodgson, CEO of Serabi, commented: “An excellent start to 2025 with over 10,000 ounces produced, an 11% increase on Q1-2024, and what was most pleasing within these numbers was the substantial grade improvements at both Palito and Coringa. Palito plant feed grades were 32% improved on Q1-2024, whilst Coringa plant feed grades showed a 10% improvement.    Q1-2025 has also been the first full operational quarter for the Coringa classification plant, and that 10% grade improvement is partly driven by this. We spent the quarter commissioning and optimising the classification plant at Coringa. High grade Coringa Run of Mine (ROM) ore was transported directly to the Palito Complex plant. Additionally, we used low grade stocks at Coringa (<2g/t Au) during the optimising of the sorter, which was extremely effective, with the ore sorted from these low-grade stocks supplementing the high-grade ROM sent from Coringa to the Palito Complex plant. The Coringa Mine continued to perform exceptionally well with ore being mined in the Serra zone at levels 260m, 225m, 190m, and 158m. The main ramp is deepening to level 125m. The first quarter also saw the progression and development of Meio, the second sector at Coringa. The first two levels, 356m and 336m are now in development, with development ore already contributing to the Coringa gold production. Meio is expected to contribute significantly to Coringa production in 2025. At Palito, the grades improved as mining has increased in the high grade Barrichello zone. This zone along with the G3 and Ipe zones are contributing the bulk of Palito Complex ROM and will continue to do so this year. The development of the G3 vein on levels -20m and -80m are particularly exciting, where we expect some excellent results this year. Finally, during the quarter, we saw our brownfield exploration programme get underway. We now have two rigs at Palito and two at Coringa. The first results were published in early April with very encouraging results at Palito Complex with step out drilling on the Senna vein. At Coringa we are drilling the Coringa trend between the Galena and Mae de Leite zones with early success as well as intersecting the new zone called Jatobá. We are planning to spend approximately $9m in 2025 equally across both sites in our quest to double the current consolidated mineral resource inventory of 1Moz. I look forward to regularly updating investors on progress on our exploration success. In light of the excellent operational performance, strong prevailing gold price, cash position and anticipated cash growth ahead, the Company is currently assessing appropriate mechanisms to return capital to shareholders.” To access an interview of Mike Hodgson with Crux Investor discussing the Q1-2025 update, follow this LINK.

Total production for the first quarter was 10,013 ounces. Total ore mined during the quarter was 44,924 tonnes at 7.09 g/t compared to 50,327 tonnes at 6.19 g/t for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in grade has mostly come from higher grade ore mined in the Barrichello and G3 zones in Palito, as well as improved grades in the Serra zone at Coringa. The Palito Complex process plant treated 48,155 tonnes of ROM ore at a grade of 6.70 g/t Au compared to 52,363 tonnes at an average grade of 6.21 g/t Au for Q4-2024. A total of 3,505 metres of horizontal development has been completed for the quarter of which 1,849 metres was ore development. The balance was the ramp, crosscuts and stope preparation development. The Coringa orebody continues to perform well. Production was focused on the levels of 260m, 225m, 195m, and 165m with development now ongoing on level 130m. The newly intersected Meio zone is still in development only with levels 356m and 336m advancing. FINANCE UPDATE Cash balances at the end of March 2025 were $26.5 million, in comparison to the cash balances at the end of December 2024 of $22.2 million. On 6 January 2025 the Company fully repaid its $5.0 million unsecured loan arrangement with Itau Bank in Brazil which carried an interest coupon of 8.47 per cent. On 22 January 2025, the Group secured a new $5.0 million loan from Banco Santander. The Banco Santander loan is repayable as a bullet payment on 21 January 2026 and carries an interest coupon of 6.16%. The Company had a net cash balance at the end of Q1-2025 (after interest bearing loans and lease liabilities) of $21.1 million (31 December 2024: net cash $16.2 million). FY2025 PRODUCTION GUIDANCE The Company remains on track to achieve 2025 consolidated production guidance of 44,000 – 47,000 ounces gold.

Serabi closely monitors the performance of its own facility against results from independent laboratory analysis for quality control purpose. As a matter of normal practice, the Company sends duplicate samples derived from a variety of the Company's activities to accredited laboratory facilities for independent verification. Since mid-2019, over 10,000 exploration drill core samples have been assayed at both the Palito laboratory and certified external laboratory, in most cases the ALS laboratory in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. When comparing significant assays with grades exceeding 1 g/t gold, comparison between Palito versus external results record an average over-estimation by the Palito laboratory of 6.7% over this period. Based on the results of this work, the Company's management are satisfied that the Company's own facility shows sufficiently good correlation with independent laboratory facilities for exploration drill samples. The Company would expect that in the preparation of any future independent Reserve/Resource statement undertaken in compliance with a recognized standard, the independent authors of such a statement would not use Palito assay results without sufficient duplicates from an appropriately certificated laboratory.

Cornish Metals Releases Unaudited Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the Three Months Ended 31 March 2025 - ForexTV

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cornish Metals Inc. (TSX-V/AIM: CUSN) (“Cornish Metals” or the “Company”), a mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its 100% owned and permitted South Crofty tin project in Cornwall, United Kingdom, is pleased to announce that it has released its unaudited financial statements and management, discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The reports are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on the Company’s website (www.cornishmetals.com). Highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the period ending May 14, 2025 (All figures expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated) Strategic investment and fundraise (the “Fundraise”) (news releases dated January 28-31, 2025): The Fundraise totalling £57.4 million announced on January 28-31, 2025 was anchored by the National Wealth Fund Limited (“NWF”) and Vision Blue Resources Limited (“Vision Blue”), investing £28.6 million and £18.1 million, respectively, with a further £10.7 million from existing shareholders and new investors, including £1.4 million from a retail offer;The Fundraise is expected to provide financial runway through to the end of Q1 2026 and will enable the Company to further de-risk South Crofty and advance it towards a formal final investment decision; Senior management appointments (news release dated April 27, 2025): Strengthening of the project and operations teams at South Crofty with the appointments of Dave Howe as General Manager and Guillermo Alcaraz as Project Director;Mr. Howe has 35 years of open pit and hard rock underground mining (including narrow vein) operational and exploration experience, of which 24 years were in executive and senior management roles;Mr. Alcazar is a project executive with over two decades of global experience leading and overseeing a multimillion-dollar complex portfolio of mining, heavy industrial and infrastructure projects across diverse development stages; Purchase of 4.5 acres of land from Cornwall Council (news release dated April 1, 2025): The purchased land is immediately adjacent to existing surface land owned by Cornish Metals and provides direct access to the main road at Dudnance Lane from where a new entrance to the mine site is planned and where a new mine office, stores and workshop will be located. Mine dewatering and refurbishment of New Cook’s Kitchen Shaft: Refurbishment of New Cook’s Kitchen shaft (“NCK”) is progressing and has reached approximately 290 metres below surface. The water level in NCK shaft is currently at approximately 300 metres below surface;Progress during the period under review has been slower than in prior periods reflecting the staged maintenance of the submersible pumps in preparation for the next phase of dewatering. Dewatering is currently advancing at a rate of over 15,000 m3 per day and this will increase to approximately 25,000 m3 per day once maintenance is completed. Don Turvey, CEO and Director of Cornish Metals, stated: “We started the year on a strong note successfully completing the £57.4 million fundraise that was supported by existing and new shareholders, including Vision Blue and the UK’s National Wealth Fund. This funding will enable the Company to maintain its strong momentum and further unlock South Crofty’s potential by delivering important milestones expected in the coming year including advancing mine dewatering and shaft refurbishment, placing orders for long-lead items, the start of early project works and concluding the project finance process. We have also strengthened our project and operations teams at South Crofty with senior appointments to the roles of Project Director and General Manager who will be key to leading South Crofty through successful construction and to full production.” Financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024  Three months ended March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)  Total operating expenses3,189,723 2,759,198 Loss for the period3,043,606 2,561,669 Net cash used in operating activities(2,190,616) (1,148,564) Net cash used in investing activities(6,602,900) (7,895,388) Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities87,513,355 (85,646) Cash at end of the period88,954,141 17,015,749  Operating expenses have risen reflecting increased professional fees associated with more corporate activity as well as an increase in corporate remuneration due to bonuses following completion of the Fundraise;Project related expenditure of $5.3 million relating to the advancement of South Crofty, primarily relating to NCK shaft re-access & refurbishment, preparation for the refurbishment of the pump station at 360 metres depth and ongoing project engineering studies;Dewatering costs of $1.5 million for power, reagents, sludge disposal and maintenance of the water treatment plant (“WTP”);Receipt of $87.5 million in net proceeds from the Fundraise after repayment of the debt facility with Vision Blue which was settled through a set-off with the Fundraise; andCash increased by $78.7 million to $89.0 million at the period end due to the proceeds received from the Fundraise offset by ongoing development activities at South Crofty. Outlook As described above, the Company continues to advance and derisk South Crofty towards production. The Company’s near-term objectives are as follows: Complete dewatering of South Crofty mine and refurbishment of NCK shaft;Advance detailed project engineering studies;Place orders for long lead items of plant and equipment;Commence early project works, including initial construction of the groundworks for the processing plant; andArrange project financing for South Crofty. ABOUT CORNISH METALS Cornish Metals is a dual-listed mineral exploration and development company (AIM and TSX-V: CUSN) that is advancing the South Crofty tin project towards production. South Crofty: is a historical, high-grade, underground tin mine located in Cornwall, United Kingdom and benefits from existing mine infrastructure including multiple shafts that can be used for future operations;is permitted to commence underground mining (valid to 2071), construct a new processing facility and for all necessary site infrastructure;has a 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment that validates the Project’s potential (see news release dated April 30, 2024 and the Technical Report entitled “South Crofty PEA”): US$201 million after-tax NPV8% and 29.8% IRR3-year after-tax payback4,700 tonnes average annual tin production in years two through sixLife of mine all-in sustaining cost of US$13,660 /tonne of payable tinTotal after-tax cash flow of US$626 million from start of production would be the only primary producer of tin in Europe or North America. Tin is a Critical Mineral as defined by the UK, American, and Canadian governments as it is used in almost all electronic devices and electrical infrastructure. Approximately two-thirds of the tin mined today comes from China, Myanmar and Indonesia;benefits from strong local community, regional and national government support with a growing team of skilled people, local to Cornwall, and could generate up to 320 direct jobs. The 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment for South Crofty is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorised as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment will be realised. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
