MEDIA RELEASE Savage River Production Update

Highlights

  • Ore production of current pit stage complete.

  • Lower production rates in the first half of 2019.

  • Full production expected in the second half of 2019.

  • Exploration Decline progressing to plan.

Grange Resources Ltd (ASX: GRR) has finished the current pit stage in the bottom of North Pit. This has developed more ore than initially planned, however completion has been delayed as a result of the high rainfall and wall instability that was experienced in Q4, 2018.

Ore feed will now be from stockpiles and maintenance work at the concentrator and pellet plant will continue from March through Q2. While production rates will be lower in the first half, it is expected that the plant will be in full production for the second half of the year as planned.

The cutback on the west wall is progressing and will provide the next area of access to the Main Ore Zone.

The Exploration Decline development is on schedule, with the portal complete and the decline progressed to 30m. This will allow 24/7 development and independent blasting from the pit operation.

“We are pleased to have completed the current ore stage. Our focus will now be on progressing the cutback to access the ore zone from the west wall and securing ore supply for the rest of the year.” said CEO M. Honglin Zhao.
