TORONTO, July 10, 2014 /CNW/ - Mandalay Resources Corporation ("Mandalay" or the "Company") (TSX: MND) announced today its production and sales results for the second quarter, 2014.

Brad Mills, Chief Executive Officer of Mandalay, commented: "Mandalay's operations delivered steady operational performance in the second quarter. Cerro Bayo operations achieved a rate of 1,350 tonnes per day ("tpd") of ore production in June, just short of its targeted expansion rate of 1,400 tpd. Costerfield delivered its first production ore from the Cuffley lode development in the quarter and is on track to ramp up production to 50% of ore feed by year-end. With Cerro Bayo operating at the higher production rate and Cuffley starting to deliver stoping ore in the coming quarters, both operations are on track to achieve their full year production guidance."

Saleable production for the three months ended June 30, 2014:

  • The Company produced a total of 14,079 ounces ("oz") gold ("Au"), 855 tonnes ("t") antimony ("Sb"), and 741,382 oz silver ("Ag"), representing a total of 31,751 oz of gold equivalent ("Au Eq.") production, down 5.4% compared to the 2013 period. The main difference in the gold equivalent production volume is attributed to the exceptionally high silver grade produced at Cerro Bayo in the similar period of 2013.

  • Production at Costerfield (Australia) was 7,256 oz Au and 855 t Sb, up 5.6% and 15.9% respectively on higher volumes of ore mined and processed in 2014 compared to 2013.

  • Production at Cerro Bayo (Chile) was 6,823 oz Au and 741,382 oz Ag, up 10.6% and down 19.6% respectively, compared to 2013. The differences with the corresponding quarter last year are due to lower silver grades realized in this period, partially offset by higher mining and processing rates in 2014 compared to 2013.

Saleable production for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

  • The Company's production totaled 27,274 oz Au, 1,713 t Sb, and 1,484,951 oz Ag, representing a total of 63,188 oz of Au Eq. More antimony and gold with slightly less silver were produced in the 2014 half as compared to the 2013 half. Equivalent gold production increased by 4% year-on-year.

  • Production at Costerfield was 15,171 oz Au and 1,713 t Sb for the 2014 half, up 16% and 13.9% respectively year-on-year, compared to the same period in 2013.

  • Production at Cerro Bayo was 12,103 oz Au and 1,484,951 oz Ag in the 2014 half, up 14.2% and down 3.2% respectively, compared to the prior year period.
