Timmins Gold reports record production of 23,203 ounces of gold and 14,453 ounces of silver during Q2 2012
Vancouver, BC - Timmins Gold Corp. (TSX:TMM, NYSE.A:TGD) reports record gold production of 23,203 gold ounces for its Q2 2012 fiscal quarter ended June 30. Timmins Gold also produced 14,453 ounces of silver during the quarter.
During Q2 2012 a total of 39,028 ounces of gold were placed on the heap leach pads, compared to 31,150 ounces of gold during the previous quarter (Q1 2012), a 25.3% increase. Gold produced during Q2 2012 reached 23,203 ounces of gold, compared to 21,532 ounces in the previous quarter (Q1 2012), a 7.8% increase. The number of gold ounces placed on the pads is scheduled to increase during the rest of the year as the mine continues its expansion. Timmins Gold maintains its production target of 100,000 ounces of gold during 2012.
The increased production in Q2 was achieved despite downtime for the calibration of the new larger capacity tertiary crusher. The calibration of the crusher has resulted in a finer crush size of 3/8 of an inch which is designed to maximize recoveries. The gold recovery ratio was 59.45% for the quarter and would have been higher but for the fact that the crusher calibration caused a substantial amount of ounces to be placed on the leach pads towards the end of the quarter and those ounces will not be extracted until Q3. The recovery ratio adopted by the Company is defined as the ratio of gold ounces produced divided by the number of contained gold ounces stacked on the leach pads over that specific period.
The following are some key production statistics for Q2:
