Kentor Gol d (ASX: KG L ) is an Australian-b a sed, emer g ing midtier gold co m pany with a dvanced projects in Australia and the Kyrgyz Rep u blic.

Formed in 1 998 and list e d on the ASX in 2 005, the Company expects to c ommence h i gh grade gold production at the M urchison gold project i n mid 2012.. At Jervois in the Northern Territory, th e Company i s studying the feasibilit y of developing a large, high grade copper-silver resource with potenti a l for the pro d uction of gold and other base meta l s. In the Kyr g yz Republi c , Kentor Gold is rea d y to procee d with the development of the C o mpany’s 80% owned high grade, very low cost Andash Gold-Copp e r Project once site access h a s been obtained. A ndash is ta r geted to produce 70, 0 00 oz gold a nd 7,400 tonnes cop p er pa for an initial six years, wit h high pot e ntial for expansion.

Kentor Gold approves Murchison Gold Project, W.A. (Burnakura and Gabanintha)

  • Production to begin in June 2012

  • Marks Kentor’s commencement as gold producer

The B o ard of Ke n tor Gold L imited (“K e ntor Gold” or “the Compa n y”) has ap p roved the d evelopment of Phase 1 of the Murchison Gold Project .

The ne w ly named Murchison Gold Project encompasses the gold as s ets owned by Kentor G old in the Murchison r egion of Wester n Australia and comp r ises the B urnakura g old and Gabani n tha gold-co p per project s .

The Murchison pr o ject will co m mence pro d uction in J u ne 2012 as the first phase of a four-phas e expansion strategy.

  • Initial production is sch e duled at a r a te of 24,00 0 ounces of gold a y ear from a combinati o n of open pit and undergroun d mining at Burnakura over an ini t ial three and a half y ears. How e ver, further exploration drilling is expected t o increase p roduction a n d extend m ine life. Work is we l l advanced on re-activ a ting the for m er mine and plant. Good metallurgical perf o rmance is e xpected, the previo u s operatio n having a chieved 9 4 % gold recoveries f rom the on-site proces s ing of underground ore. Capit a l cost of this first pha s e is $14.8 m illion of which $2 million has alr e ady been s p ent.

  • The secon d phase, tar g eted to co m mence during 2013, will be the a ddition of a parallel he a p leaching o peration which will i n crease the production f o r minimal a dditional capital fro m already ac q uired equi p ment, and lower the operating c o st.

  • The third phase will b e an expan s ion of the C IP plant from 260,0 0 0 to 500,00 0 tonnes a y e ar.

  • The fourth p hase will b e the flotati o n of copper - gold ore to produce a copper co n centrate.

The firs t phase has a forecast c ash operati n g cost of $ 1 ,223 per ounce. While high due to the low initial t h roughput rate of the proces s plant, the c ost is expe c ted to redu c e significantly in the

second phase with t h e small ad d itional capit a l cost and i n the subse q uent phase s . The ore fed to the plant during t h e first phas e averages 3 g/t gold. Recruitment

Key rol e s of Gener a l Manager, Mining Ma n ager, Process Manager and Commercial Mana g er have been fill e d. Candid a tes have al s o been ide n tified for a significant number of ope r ational role s and will be eng a ged progressively over t h e next 3 m o nths.

Heap Leach Scoping Study

The he a p leach pl a nt from th e Indee Gold Mine in W.A. was p urchased a nd relocat e d to the Burnak u ra Mine site in 2011. The elution plant and gold room from I n dee are pr e sently being installed at the B u rnakura CI L plant.

Recove r ies from co a rse bottle roll tests ha v e been ver y encouragi n g with resu l ts from the -12.5mm crushed samples s howing co n sistently hi g h recoveri e s (80-90%). Percolation results f o r Lewis, Reward and NOA o xide samples range fr o m good to excellent. F urther test work is re q uired on material from Autha a l and other pits.
