TORONTO, Oct. 14, 2014 /CNW/ - Mandalay Resources Corporation ("Mandalay" or the "Company") (TSX: MND) announced today its production and sales results for the third quarter, 2014.

Brad Mills, Chief Executive Officer of Mandalay, commented:  "Mandalay's production in the third quarter of 2014 reached new all-time quarterly records with respect to total gold (18,990 ounces), antimony (1,000 tonnes), and total gold equivalent (39,021 ounces).  This excellent performance was due to a record production quarter at Costerfield with the successful transition to stoping from the new Cuffley lode; a strong quarter at Cerro Bayo due to increased throughput and high ore grades; and initial production from the Björkdal mine post-closing of the Elgin Mining acquisition on September 10, 2014."

Mr. Mills continued, "Mandalay sales in the third quarter did not keep pace with the record production as a result of delayed loading of concentrates on ships from Cerro Bayo due to inclement weather at the port.  Otherwise, we realized record gold sales and strong antimony sales from Costerfield and our first gold sales from Björkdal.  We expect the delayed shipments from Cerro Bayo to be caught up by the end of the year."

Mr. Mills concluded with remarks on revised Mandalay guidance: "Total guidance for full-year 2014 has risen slightly to 141,000-156,000 ounces gold equivalent. Within this revision, the guidance for gold and silver production from Cerro Bayo is unchanged.  From Costerfield, the guidance for antimony has been revised upward from the previous 3,000-3,300 tonnes to 3,500-3,800 tonnes, whereas the guidance for gold has been revised downward from the previous 37,000-43,000 ounces to 32,000-37,000.  These changes are due to differences between the ore grades estimated and actually encountered in early Cuffley lode mining; their impacts on total gold equivalent production from Costerfield largely offset each other.  Finally, from Björkdal, while the fourth quarter guidance of 8,000-10,000 ounces is unchanged from the guidance issued upon the close of the Elgin transaction, Björkdal produced 3,091 ounces in the third quarter post-close, which has been added to the full-year guidance."

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

  • The Company produced a record total of 18,990 ounces ("oz") gold ("Au"), a record 1,000 tonnes ("t") antimony ("Sb"), and 823,379 oz silver ("Ag"), representing a record total of 39,021 oz of gold equivalent ("Au Eq.") production.

  • Production at Costerfield (Australia) was a record 9,454 oz Au and a record 1,000 t Sb representing a record total of 16,792 oz Au Eq. The production increase was due mainly to higher tonnage mined and processed as transition to mining in the newly developed Cuffley lode occurred.

  • Production at Cerro Bayo (Chile) was 6,445 oz Au and 823,379 oz Ag, higher than the year-ago-quarter, due to favourable grades and higher throughput.

  • Production at Björkdal (Sweden) was 3,091 oz Au. Björkdal was acquired on September 10, 2014; accordingly, this production relates only to the 20-day period from September 10 to 30, 2014.

Saleable production for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

  • The Company's production totaled 46,264 oz Au, 2,713 t Sb, and 2,308,330 oz Ag, representing a total of 102,209 oz of Au Eq.

  • Production at Costerfield was 24,625 oz Au and 2,713 t Sb.

  • Production at Cerro Bayo was 18,548 oz Au and 2,308,330 oz Ag.
