The processing plant installation works were technically completed as scheduled on 1(st) November, and the plant has been available for minor test runs since then. "I'm very pleased with the dedication and commitment to this project shown by our own staff as well as our contractor's workforce. The Pampalo Gold Mine processing plant has now been commissioned on time and as per the original schedule. With the completion of the new power line, we have sufficient power on-site, enabling efficient test runs of the plant equipment and crushers. Although we decided to upgrade certain critical areas during the construction period, such as crushers and the plant laboratory, the overall cost of the Pampalo project is still in line with the budget. We are currently testing the complete processing plant with water and further, with waste rock and ore. We shall finalize these tests before the year-end so that commercial production can be started during Q1/2011 as per our previous announcements", comments Markus Ekberg, CEO of Endomines For further information: Markus Ekberg, CEO of Endomines AB, cell phone: +358 40 706 48 50 About Endomines During 2009-2010 Endomines has taken several important steps from exploration to full-scale gold production.
