Production Update
Kounrad achieves its first 10,000 tonnes of copper
production
Central Asia Metals plc (AIM:CAML), a copper producing company
focused on base metals in Central Asia, today announces a
production update for its Kounrad SX-EW plant in Kazakhstan.
Highlights:
-- 10,000 tonnes of copper produced in just over 12 months since
operations started
-- Record monthly production achieved in April 2013 of 1,114
tonnes of copper
-- Kounrad Q1 2013 production of 1,675 tonnes of copper,
exceeding planned levels by 26%
Kounrad
Kounrad's total production output since the start of operations
at the end of April 2012 has now exceeded 10,000 tonnes. This was
achieved over a period that included the commissioning, ramp-up and
the first winter of operations during which severe weather
conditions were experienced. Kounrad's operational capability
during all weather conditions, especially the winter months, is
well demonstrated.
In April 2013, production of 1,114 tonnes of copper sets a new
record for monthly output at Kounrad.
Kounrad Q1 2013 production of 1,675 tonnes of copper exceeded
the planned 1,322 tonnes by 26%.
Nick Clarke, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We are pleased to have reached a total production of 10,000
tonnes of copper at Kounrad, following a new record for monthly
output in April. Kounrad is operating beyond our expectations and
production achieved for 2012 and Q1 2013 is testament to this
fact.
We have been able to maintain steady-state production in
challenging weather conditions and look forward to achieving our
target of 10,000 tonnes for 2013."
