Verde Resources Updates on Production Expansion Plan And Lode Gold Exploration Results
Pahang, Malaysia (PRWEB) January 22, 2014 -- Verde Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: VRDR) is pleased to provide an update on the expansion plan to ramp up gold production at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Mine in Pahang, Malaysia. The Company is currently building the new production facility that is expected to begin operation in the next two quarters of 2014. Based on the analysis of mining operation data, the Company is working to optimize the processing plants to best suit the geophysical structure of the deposits. The Company is expecting to run a total of seven production plants with the addition of heavy machineries to support the ramp up production in the next two quarters. Verde Resources is making every effort to be on target to meet the production forecast of 3,600 gold ounces for 2014 with a target yield of $4.5M, based on an average gold price of $1,250 per ounce. This would be an increase from 2013 by nearly 260% and the Company is planning to further increase the production by almost 180% to a projected 10,000 gold ounces by 2015.
In an effort to derive maximum potential value, Verde Resources is also pleased to update on the recent exploration conducted by the in-house geological team for lode gold resources at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Mine. For the recent surface samples collected from the Site IV-1 prospect, part of the lode gold system returned encouraging results. The samples range from 10 g/t to up to bonanza grade of 61 g/t. Mineralization remains open at depth and will be further tested by drilling. Mr. Wu, President of Verde Resources, said, "It is very encouraging to continue to see high-grade gold resources associated with our latest exploration results. Our in-house geological team has expressed confidence on the potential for further discovery of abundant high grade lode gold resources at Site IV-I of our Merapoh Mine.”
Mr. Wu concluded, “We will use all proven and successful operation procedures in our effort to ensure optimized production that is the most cost effective. Verde Resources is optimistic in meeting our targeted expansion plan and will continue to aggressively explore our mine for high grade lode gold resources to maximize value for our shareholders. We strongly believe that the positive result from our recent lode gold exploration is a major driving force for Verde Resources in achieving the production expansion plan in 2014.”
