MONUMENT BEGINS GOLD CONCENTRATE SHIPMENTS AT SELINSING GOLD MINE
Monument Mining Ltd. has begun the first gold concentrate shipments and sales from the newly
constructed flotation plant at the Selinsing gold mine.
President and chief executive officer Cathy Zhai commented: "This is a momentous occasion for us as
we begin to ship and sell gold concentrates from the flotation plant.
The initial offtake of 2,000 dry metric tonnes (DMT) of concentrate from Selinsing marks the beginning
of a gold concentrate revenue stream and restores our operating cash flow.
We would like to give thanks to our hard-working operation teams, backroom administration support
personnel and our business partners to make this happen."
Gold concentrate shipments and sales
Significant interest has been received from potential buyers of the Selinsing gold concentrate.
All export and transport permits have been received and the first truckloads of concentrate were shipped from the Selinsing warehouse on June 18, 2023, to Johor Free Trade Zone.
To date 490 DMT of concentrate have been dispatched out of an initial offtake of 2,000 DMT.
Weighing, sampling and moisture determination of the delivered concentrate are being conducted at the Johor Free Trade Zone by an appointed internationally recognized survey company.
An additional 3,000 DMT of concentrate are currently available for sale.
The company intends after a trial shipment to gradually increase the number of trucks to speed up the logistic process in selling backlogged product.
In the future concentrates will be shipped to buyers on a routine basis. The backlog was caused by a lengthy initial administrative process for obtaining all relevant permits and organizing logistics. Over the past six months, the company has built a logistic team and sales chain at the Selinsing project.
Commercial production update
The flotation plant operation is improving with up to 99 per cent of design capacity achieved during June, 2023, and overall 83-per-cent capacity achieved for the 30-day period up to June 17, 2023.
Torn filter cloths remained an issue with new cloths still awaited from the filter press supplier McLanahan. New HDPE (high-density polyethylene) pipework was received to upgrade the concentrate thickener underflow pipeline. A similar upgrade was planned for the flotation cleaner concentrate pipeline which emerged as a bottleneck with increasing flotation mass pull.
Flotation recovery has shown a steady improvement as increasing proportions of newly mined transition and fresh ore were processed. Daily recoveries in excess of 80 per cent have been recorded during June, 2023, although an average of 68-per-cent recovery month to date was caused by some poorly performing old transition ore processed at the start of the month.
Construction of the concentrate shed continued with the main roof completed and the perimeter concrete wall approximately 50 per cent done. Work continued extending the lean-to roof to the filter press building. The bagging system has been prepared for shipping to Malaysia.
Mining update
Mining of Buffalo Reef stage 1 BRC2 and BRC3 pits continued with both transition and fresh ore delivered to the ROM pad and maintained around one month supply of ore feed to the flotation processing plant. A new drill rig was delivered in June, 2023, with nine grade control drilling rigs now operational; a 10th unit is scheduled for delivery in August, 2023. The mining operation is aiming to achieve and maintain a three-month supply of ore at the ROM.
Construction of the explosive's depot progressed well with delivery of the bulk emulsion gassing container and the connection to mains power completed. This is to remove dependency on explosives delivery from the sole dominant supplier in the country due to its shortfall of trucks over the past several months. The isotainer storage tanks are due for delivery in late June, 2023, and the explosives depot will be commissioned in early July, 2023.
Work started on the conversion of the old core shed to an expanded sample preparation facility capable of processing up to 700 grade control samples per day, which will remove another major bottleneck in the mining cycle.
Risks
Other operation risks in related to mining and processing processes are under continuous evaluation to improve the performance.

New development to increase production from our Floatation Plant ....
With respect to the construction of the Biox Plant and in order to reduce the initial capital investment,
the Company now plans to develop the Selinsing Sulphide Project through a two stage de-risking
process:
....Stage 1 construction of a flotation plant that was originally designed to deliver sulphide gold
concentrates as a semi product for further BIOX® leaching process.
.....Under the new approach, the flotation plant will be modified to produce higher grade saleable gold
concentrates, the cash generated from which may be used to fund upgrading of the BIOX® leaching
plant.
This is an excellent move to modify the FP to produce a higher grade gold concentrate .
This will maximize and front load our profitability, both from increased production volumes and higher
grade concentrate relative to head grade
( ie higher recovery rates ).
In other words, Mass pull will be enhanced which will result in a concentrate weighing less but
containing more gold.
I would say that Dato is once again exercising his substantial background in mining experience around
the world and introducing those efficiency activities to make Selinsing as profitable as possible .
We are in good hands,,
There is a lot going on on the Monument Mining website very interesting explanation

RE: NEWS - Monument Mining President and CEO Cathy Zhai
commented, “During commissioning we have identified some
bottlenecks and are working with Mincore to fix them.
Up to date the flotation plant has delivered saleable concentrate of approximately
1,707 dry tonnes at 35.12 g/t Au with gold content of 1,928 troy ounces. )
Figure 2. Plant Inspection
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/02/27/2616400/0/en/Monument-Progresses-Flotation-Commissioning-at-Selinsing.html
As of February 22nd, 2023, a total of 1,707 dry metric tonnes of gold concentrate have been
produced with an average gold grade of 35.12 g/t Au (1,928 troy ounces).
A fast Production Gold Au Estimate DD by a Monument Mining Investor: -
Ex.gracia -
Scoping of concentrate Production…52,000 ounces
We have some very interesting tidbit provided in todays NR which can be combined with
FS information to scope out annual concentrate production
...950,000 tons of mill feed per year ( about 3000 tpd )
....Mass pull of 5% ( ie 100 tons of ore is concentrated by a factor of 20 to 5 tons of
concentrate )
..head .grade of 1.95 gms per ton ( oxides removed )
....recovery of 85%
So , we have 1.95 gms/ ton. X 20 X 85 % = 35 gms per ton which is spot on the
performance reported today.
950,000 tons of head feed is concentrated by a factor of 20 ( ie Mass pull of 5% ) to 47000
tons of concentrate containing 1.1 ounces of gold per ton .
This computes to about 52,000 ounces of gold per year contained within 47000 tons of gold
concentrate
The Feasability Study included Biox and also oxides .
It quoted 60.000 ounces per year in the initial years of production .
So, removing the oxides from the mill feed and 53,000 ounces of sulphide gold produced
per year seems quite good and meets breast plate production rates.
Reducing production by about 10 % for smelting and transportation costs and our net gold
sales will be about 48,000 ounces per year which at current POG of $2259 CAD per ounce
will result in about $105 million CAD in annual revenues.
The FSR analyst report calculated a 30% cash flow margin which is just over $30 million
CAD per year.
As we have nearly $45 million US in forward non capital tax loss pools to offset income
taxes, that amount ($30 m CAD ) is essentially free cash flows.
There will be need for sustaining capital , so remove $5 million for that and we have about
$25 million or about $0.08 per share in free cash flows or equivalently in the absence of
taxes, net earnings
This gets us to about book value of $0.48 per share at a very modest 6 times annual
earnings
So todays NR provided an excellent insight into our FP production outlook .
As importantly , it confirms and conforms quite well with the 2019 Feasability Study which is
quite reassuring.
Considering that we have over $75 million in asset value in our Murchison
Project, Monument is now a screaming buy.
" As of February 22, 2023, a total of 1,707 tonnes of flotation concentrate have been
produced at an average grade of 35.12 g/t Au...1928 ounces of gold"
Comment on this Post
(All time best to make your own DD)
Welcome ; Can we produce/ sell 10,000 ounces in Q3
Q3 is this quarter ending March 31/23.
We have 30 days in March to do so .
Head feed is 3000 tons per day, so if all goes well, we should
produce 90,000 tons of ore in March.
With a mass pull of 5%, that will result in about 4500 tons of
concentrate , containing 1.1 ounces per ton which is
about 5000 ounces of gold.
We have already produced 1829 ounces to date during ramp it ,
up to a week or so ago.
Now, we have ....recalling from memory ..about 3000+ ounces of
bullion in Inventory that was saved from Q2 and
Q3 production in F22..
So, with breast plate production of about 5000 ounces for
March....if no more significant hiccups.. and
nearly 2000 ounces in the bag already ,
along with over 3000 ounces of bullion in our vaults,
we could see up to 10,000 ounces sold in Q3...?..if
all going good -
About $23 million in gross sales .
The FSR projected 22,000 ounces in F 2023.
That looks reasonably certain right now....if ramp up proceeds
without any major hiccups.
This is the best news we have had - so.. more Great PR NEWS
this week at PDAC should be made -
