Best gold pour yet for A1 Minerals as
operations ramp up.

The steady improvement in gold production for A1 Minerals Ltd saw its largest gold production yet with this week?s gold pour of 516 fine ounces of gold and
347 fine ounces silver.

The estimated value of this dore is $696,600
A1 Minerals chairman Michael Hunt said ?It?s gratifying to see the operation building up towards its intended gold production level after the teething pains we have suffered with both mining and milling operations. Our next step is to
complete building the gold room so we can pour on site?.
The operation is now under the supervision of A1?s Technical Director Bill Hobba
who supervised CPC Engineering?s renovation and assembly of the plant last year.

The company has engaged mining consultants Optiro to provide advice on improving the geological and in pit grade control methods currently being used at Brightstar.
Mr Hunt added: ?I expect that during the next quarter the company will be consistently achieving its target of producing at the rate of 30,000 ounces of
gold per annum?.
Yours sincerely,
Albert Longo
Finance Director ? A1 Minerals Limited
