Red Back Graduates to Toronto Stock Exchange
11/29/04
Red Back Mining Inc.
(the "Company" or "Red Back") (TSX VENTURE:RBI) is pleased to announce
that its application for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX")
has been conditionally approved by the TSX. Trading on the TSX is
expected to commence the first week of December, 2004 concurrent with a
de-listing from the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company's trading symbol
(RBI) and CUSIP number (756297107) will remain the same.
Richard Clark, President of Red Back Mining Inc., commented: "The move
to Canada's senior stock exchange reflects the Company's growth and
soon-to-be status as a significant new gold producer. Construction of
our Chirano gold mine in Ghana is well underway with the first gold pour
anticipated in Q3 2005."
The Chirano gold mine is scheduled to produce on average 123,000 ounces
of gold per annum over an initial 8 year mine life. Production during
the first full three years is expected to be approximately 145,000
ounces per annum. Mineralization at Chriano is open at depth and along
strike. The Company recently carried out a successful infill and
resource expansion drilling program resulting in a 22% increase in
measured and indicated resources. With this success rate and with the
discovery of new anomalies through soil sampling and trenching a new
10,000m drill program will commence by the end of November/early
December, 2004. Red Back management believes there is good potential to
further increase the resource and reserve inventory of Chirano, thereby
further extending mine life beyond the current 8 years.
Red Back owns one of the largest land holdings in Ghana. In addition to
the Chirano mine, the Company's portfolio includes extensive exploration
properties along strike from Chirano (Bibiani Shear Zone Projects) in
proximity to new gold discoveries by Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (Akyem
and Ahafo North Projects) and covering small resources in northern Ghana
(Bole and Nangodi Projects). The majority of these projects are early
stage with little to no previous systematic exploration or drilling.
Management believes there to be a real potential for the discovery of
economic gold mineralisation on these projects, particularly those in
close proximity to Chirano. The majority of the exploration budget for
2005 will focus at and around Chirano and along the Bibiani Shear Zone
where Red Back has gained a considerable expertise on the controls to
gold mineralisation.
On behalf of the Board of Directors
