CHARIOT GOLD PROJECT
COMMENCMENT OF ORE PROCESSING AT WARREGO
Giants Reef Mining Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce that continuous ore
processing commenced at its Warrego ore treatment plant at 1830 hours on Friday 17 October
2003.
The Warrego ore treatment plant is part of the Company's Chariot Gold Project, which is
forecast to produce approximately 60,000 ounces of gold per annum at a cash cost of around
$250 per ounce.
The commencement of continuous ore processing followed a planned two week
commissioning program of the ore treatment plant and associated infrastructure after the
completion of the Warrego refurbishment project.
The Warrego ore treatment plant was commissioned with, and is currently processing,
stockpiled ore mined from the Chariot open pit earlier this year. The Company has a run-of-
mine open pit ore stockpile of approximately 20,000 tonnes at an estimated grade of 10 g/t Au
(at a 130 g/t cut off) currently available for processing.
The Company's first gold pour is anticipated to be toward the end of this week following the
build up of gold in circuit.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr GV Ariti said that the completion of the Warrego
refurbishment project and commencement of continuous ore treatment on time and within
forecast costs was a positive outcome and a credit to the efforts and commitment of the
Company's staff, Holtfreters (the project manger) and the contractors who worked on the
refurbishment project.
Attaining this significant milestone enables the Company to make the transition from an
exploration company to a medium tier gold producer within Australia with exciting
exploration leverage to its substantial land holding within the Tennant Creek Goldfield.
At the Company's Chariot underground mine, decline development has advanced
approximately 400 metres almost to the 3 level (1215 RL). A cross cut has been established on
the 2 level (1230 RL) to access underground ore. Several cuts of ore have been taken from the 2
level ore drive and stockpiled on the surface.
20 October 2003
The Chariot Gold Project will be officially opened by the Honourable Paul Henderson,
Minister for Business, Industry and Resource Development on 30 October 2003. About 50
invited guests are expected to attend the official opening.
