Trio Resources, Inc. To Commence Semi-Monthly Shipments of Mineralized Material to United Commodity AG Beginning Mid-May 2013
TORONTO, April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Trio Resources, Inc. ("Trio" or the "Company") (OTCBB: TRII; www.trioresources.com) is pleased to announce that the Company will commence its first semi-monthly shipment of approximately 165 tons of mineralized material to United Commodity AG ("UC") in mid-May 2013. Under the Company's Off-Take Agreement with UC, Trio plans to make additional shipments of the same volume on a semi-monthly basis to UC's Yukon Refinery until UC increases its capacity at the facility.
Based on Trio's previously announced Off-Take Agreement with UC, the Company anticipates that its future shipments of mineralized material will constitute more than double the volume of the inaugural shipment. The first shipment to UC is expected to generate revenues of approximately $236,000. In addition, the Company anticipates its shipments of mineralized material to UC will generate $350,000 to $500,000 per month in revenues.
As Trio commences the shipments of its mineralized materials, the Company continues to make progress exploring and developing its Duncan Kerr Property in Northern Ontario. Once Spring weather conditions permit, the Company plans to conduct the additional work required on its National Instrument 43-101 Independent Technical Report ("NI 43-101") on the property as well as begin secondary crushing of Stock Piles A and B and the Trench Ore. In addition, Trio will conduct third-party sampling to confirm the assay values and tonnage, allowing the Company to confirm its first resource value for the materials.
"The first shipment of mineralized materials represents another important step for Trio's development as a junior mining company," stated Duncan Reid, CEO of Trio Resources, Inc. "By partnering with an experienced processor like UC, we can immediately begin to monetize our inventory of above-ground materials and generate cash to fund exploration on our Duncan Kerr Property. While we ramp up our shipments to UC, we are also taking strides to maximize the value of our assets. We are excited about the prospects for Trio's future as we continue to execute on our business plan."
