PROJECT UPDATE CONFERENCE CALL TO BE HELD APRIL 24, 2013
TORONTO, April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd. ("Sulliden", or the "Company") (TSX: SUE) (BVL: SUE) (OTCQX: SDDDF) receives approval of its environmental impact study ("DIA") and obtains a construction permit for the switchyard and electrical facilities from the Ministry of Energy and Mines of Peru. With the approval granted and the permit in place, the Company will move forward with the construction of the electrical project.
Peter Tagliamonte, Chairman and CEO of Sulliden, commented, "The start of the switchyard construction marks another important step in the advancement of the Shahuindo Project. The new electrical facilities will provide low cost grid power to the Shahuindo mine. In addition, the new facilities will help improve access and quality of electrical power in the province of Cajabamba."
The Shahuido project is a straightforward open pit heap leach recovery mine with low capital requirements and bottom quartile operating costs. The capex of the mine is an estimated $131.8 million, which will support a mining rate of 3.65 million tonnes per year and annual production of approximately 90,000 gold equivalent ounces at projected average cash operating costs of $552 per ounce.
On September 6, 2012, Sulliden awarded an Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") contract to Abengoa Peru S.A. ("Abengoa") for the construction and installation of the electrical substation. The following month, October 2012, an electrical connection agreement was completed and signed with Abengoa for electrical power supply to the Shahuindo mine.
