Company Update
Production at Murchison Gold Project
Extension of closing date for Rights Offer
Murchison Gold Project
Kentor Gold Limited (“Kentor Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that mill throughput at the Murchison Gold Project, WA, has already reached design capacity of 260,000 tpa on a sustained basis.
Murchison is the first of Kentor Gold’s pipeline of three advanced projects to enter production.
The project is scheduled to produce gold at the initial rate of 24,000 oz a year from the CIL plant at Burnakura. Further expansions of production are planned to follow with the construction of a heap leach and a mill expansion.
At the end of July, an estimated 300 oz of gold is loaded on to carbon in the CIL plant with the first strip scheduled to take place during August. The plant also has a gravity gold recovery circuit and electrowinning of the gold has commenced.
The construction contractors have now demobilised from the site and the site is running on Kentor Gold personnel. The construction of the project is now complete with the exception of the delivery of the gas containers which are required to heat the stripping circuit and to heat the gold furnace.
The first gold pour from the gravity circuit is expected next week.
Kentor Gold’s Managing Director Simon Milroy said:
“Three weeks after the first ore was fed into the refurbished mill, the mill is achieving a sustained throughput at the designed production rate of 260,000 tpa. We expect further increases in throughput over the coming months.”
Extension of closing date for Rights Offer
Due to the imminent likely re-rating of Kentor Gold Limited as a gold producer, the Company has decided to extend the Closing Date for the Rights Issue.
The production of gold at the Murchison Project in WA is a significant event in the Company’s history. It is reasonable to expect that once the first gold pour is effected the Company will be re-rated as a producer. The gold pour is expected to take place within the next 10 days.

The Company wished to provide shareholders with sufficient time to consider the implications of this changed status of Kentor Gold to a gold producer, in the context of the continuing exploration successes of high grade discoveries at both the Jervois Copper-Silver-Gold Project and Murchison. Therefore, the Company has decided to extend the Closing Date for the Rights Issue to 17 August 2012. All other terms of the Rights Issue remain the same.
