NICKEL HEAP LEACH TRIAL UPDATE

The Company announces that is has released an update on its nickel operations today. 

As reported in the most recent Quarterly Operations Update the heap leach pad and pilot plant is now complete. The rolls crusher transferred from joint venture partner European Nickels Caldag operation in Turkey has now arrived on site and is in the process of being constructed. Once the crusher has been erected and commissioned approximately 3,000 tonnes of laterite ore will be crushed, agglomerated and stacked on the trial leach pad. The irrigation pipes will be placed and a HDPE raincoat will cover both the pad and the ponds. Leaching is expected to commence shortly before Christmas.

The trial heap will be constructed at the same height as the full commercial operation and is designed to prove the heap percolation and leach rates on a full scale basis as well as demonstrating the rain control methodology's. In addition the trial facility will showcase the clean, safe and environmentally friendly nature of the process to the government and local stakeholders.. 

The Acoje Test Centre, a full scale laboratory that has now been in operation at Acoje since the beginning of the year continues to make significant inroads into further enhancing the economics of the project.
