Citigold Targets ’07 Growth
With mining operations at the Warrior gold mine at Charters
Towers continuing to proceed as planned, including another
gold pour this week, it is time to review strategic targets for
the 2007 year ahead.
This 2006 year has been an impressive year in the
company’s history. Sustained gold production now
underway, 10 million ounce gold deposit under foot at
Charters Towers, no secured debt (for the first time in
10 years) and with a strong management team, the company
is in good shape for 2007. Citigold’s focus of delivering
outstanding growth in shareholder value has seen a 5 year
uptrend, with an acceleration in the current year.
The targets for 2007 are –
1. Development of the second mine at Charters Towers, Sunburst. Planning is
accelerating and progress towards funding the operation is advancing. The
mine, that will take advantage of the existing surface and underground
infrastructure already developed in the City area, would see our overall gold
production increase to 120,000 ounces per year. The development, on the
eastern side of the central goldfield, will initially target published reserves at
Sunburst. There is an overall Inferred Mineral Resource of about 1.2 million
ounces (2.7Mt @ 13.5 g/t Au) that comprises the Sunburst mine area.
2. Start growing the current 10 million mineral resource towards the target of
50 million ounces considered to be within Citigold’s mineral lands. With the
second of three exploration drill rigs on site at Charters Towers, we are well
placed to accelerate the drilling program in 2007. The third drill rig is expected in
February. The plan is for one rig to focus on Warrior mine drilling, a second on
the Sunburst mine and the third will be used to look for the deep ‘bonanza lodes’,
similar to the ounce to the tonne Brilliant and Queen reefs, that could grow the
resource table.

3. List on a second, international standard, overseas stock exchange. Citigold
has looked at an international listing a few years back but will now accelerate
making our stock available to new growing investor markets. If the Company
listed in a new market it would be looking to promote the company in that
marketplace and add shareholder value. Gold operates in a globalised financial
world and Citigold is reaching out to these growing economic centres.
Prospective investors who have taken the time in the past to research Citigold and its
method of operation have rightly formed the view that it has a global scale gold deposit,
the geology is well understood, mining and processing operations are relatively simple,
it is frugal with expenditure thereby obtaining value for shareholders and it has a strong
technical team leading the operations. Those investors, who have become
shareholders, have benefited from Citigold’s past growth and are well placed for the
future. Citigold’s growth is increasing.
The Board believes that our gold mining business has a bright future, based on gold
price expectations, the upside on gold production and growth in ounces.
