Woulfe Mining Update on Progress at Sangdong Project as It Moves Towards Production in 2012
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/28/11 -- Woulfe Mining Corp. ('Woulfe' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: WOF)(OTCQX: WFEMF) is pleased to announce the completion of major milestones towards bringing the Sangdong tungsten and molybdenum project into production in 2012. Woulfe's aggressive timeline to have the mine commissioned and in production in 2012 requires many initiatives to be worked on in parallel by multiple teams.
Brian Wesson CEO/President of Woulfe added, 'The APT price has been increased substantially over the past 6 months so we are working as hard and fast as possible to get Sangdong back into production. The recent drilling confirms the historical data and the results have all been above resource grade. We are pushing ahead with the pre-feasibility and full feasibility in parallel with an updated resource estimate coming shortly. We look forward to updating the market as we achieve these goals.'
Woulfe has successfully completed a 19 hole geotechnical drill program focused on testing the characteristics of the plant site. This site investigation will finalise the process plant layout and allow the detailed civil engineering to move forward.
Following the satisfactory completion of the geotech drilling, the application for land lease and purchase of the plant site was submitted to the county on June 7, 2011. The construction application will be submitted to the county promptly following the grant of permit on the land lease and purchase. Woulfe expects the submissions to be considered favourably by the county as we have been working closely with the county officials to move the project forward as quickly as possible.
In addition the application for land lease for new production six metre portal and decline to ore was submitted on June 7. Woulfe expects the permit on the land lease for new adit to be granted by the end of June.
Mr. Wesson added, 'I believe the team we have assembled has the ability to achieve the aggressive plan and goals as outlined. We continue to drive this project forward to achieve maximum value for Woulfe Mining shareholders.'
