Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX: RMS) is pleased to announce that gold production guidance has once again been achieved for the March 2015 Quarter, on the back of near record production of 22,655 ounces from the Mt Magnet gold mine in Western Australia. A brief update on operational, development and corporate activity follows.

Ramelius Chief Executive, Mark Zeptner today said:

“The turnaround at Mt Magnet and Ramelius is in full swing now with four consecutive quarters of achieving production Guidance. Combined with a stronger A$ gold price, this has resulted in a substantial boost to cash & gold on hand, which currently represents approximately 7.6 cents per share.”

“The cash generating ability of our Mt Magnet operation, backed by an Ore Reserve of more than 300,000 ounces, is the result of a sustained effort by our operations team and is underpinning our strategy of building a profitable gold business. With two new high grade mines coming on stream shortly, Ramelius is well placed to take advantage of the current Australian dollar gold price.”

Further details will be available in the full quarterly report later this month.
