GRINDING MILL DAMAGED AT JACOBINA GOLD MINE

The larger of 2 semi-autogenous grinding mills at the Jacobina mines in Brazil has been shut down due to structural damage.

Unexpected serious wear to the outer shell was observed on Sunday, August 30th, and the mill was immediately taken out of service. Without the availability of the larger mill, the monthly milling capacity will decrease by two thirds to about 30,000 tons.

A full investigation of the extent of the damage is underway. Preliminary estimates are that the mill may be out of service for up to 4 - 5 weeks.
