U.S. Canadian Minerals Inc. Brings New Processing Online
Thursday December 16, 7:13 pm ET

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2004--U.S. Canadian Minerals Inc. (OTCBB: USCA - News) announced today that its second Yellow River, Ecuador, processing facility has commenced operations and has begun extracting gold from ore 24 hours a day. This second facility increases the ore processing capacity of the company's Yellow River Mining subsidiary (of which the company owns 80%) to more than 40 tons of ore per day. The company presently has sources that produce that amount of ore per day, but there can be no assurance that this supply will be sustained. Moreover, the amount of gold contained in ore varies, and there can be no assurance that the company will continue to be able to obtain ore for processing that contains gold in commercial quantities. The continued operation of the processing facilities depends upon a number of local factors, including the continued availability of satisfactory labor.
