Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia ‐ December 2, 2019. Steppe Gold Ltd. (TSX:STGO)
("Steppe Gold" or the "Company") is extremely pleased to announce
that the ATO Gold Mine is fully permitted and gold production is
commencing.
The Company has now mined, crushed and stacked approximately 300,000t of
ore at a grade of 2.13g/t gold on the leach pad. The company’s mining,
crushing and stacking program is ongoing. Full year production for 2020 is
now envisaged to be approximately 60,000oz of gold.
The Company will now push to complete the feasibility study into its Stage 2
Expansion Project at the ATO Mine. The aim of this is to increase annual gold
production to 150,000 per annum from underlying fresh rock ores. The
Company also continues to assess a number of additional opportunities in
Mongolia including exploration drilling at its exciting Uudam Khundii Gold
Project.
Steppe Gold is also very pleased to announce the appointment
of Mr. Bataa Tumur‐Ochir as President and CEO of Steppe Gold effective
immediately.
Mr. Tumur‐Ochir is a founding Director of the Company and has been
instrumental in the management and growth of the Company since listing. In
his previous role as Executive Vice President Mongolia, he guided the ATO
Gold Mine development from a bare field on the Mongolian steppe to the
most modern and international standard gold mine in Mongolia today.
Mr. Matthew Wood, Founder and Chairman of the Company will remain in the
role of Executive Chairman and will focus his energy on executive
management oversight, growth strategy and the expansion of Steppe Gold in
Mongolia.
Mr. Wood said “It has been an honour to be the CEO and President of Steppe
Gold during what has been an extremely challenging and rewarding phase in
the company’s life from foundation, to IPO to commencing gold production.
Now is the time to pass the reins to Mr. Tumur‐Ochir to aggressively grow the
company to the next level.
It is also great to see a TSX listed Mongolian Gold Company with a highly
qualified Mongolian CEO and President. I am extremely enthused about the
future of Steppe Gold as we continue to grow the Company for all of our
stakeholders.”
