We are also very pleased to announce that we have appointed High Desert Mining LLC (“High Desert”) as mining contractor at the Summit Mine in New Mexico, USA. High Desert has been on site since May 25 and underground establishment activities are underway with key mining equipment having been mobilised. First ore was delivered to surface on July 7, mining faces are readily accessible and we expect to begin to build a stockpile. Wet commissioning of the plant and first concentrate production is expected by the end of September. Restarting Summit is a major milestone for Golconda Gold and is expected to increase our production, revenue, and ultimately profitability while diversifying geographically and adding significant exposure to silver.” ⁽¹⁾
