RYMM Press Release:

Royal Mines Installs Electrowinning Circuit
7:00a ET October 15, 2009 (Market Wire)

Royal Mines and Minerals Corp. (OTCBB: RYMM) ("Royal Mines") issued the following news release to update developments within its "Phoenix Facility" processing and refining plant.

Royal Mines is pleased to announce the installation of an industrial sized electrowinning circuit with a 4000 amp rectifier. Final testing of the circuit is currently in progress. This circuit is expected to be capable of plating-out 1000 oz of precious metal per day and is a critical path item that allows us to deal effectively and efficiently with high silver value concentrate. We are currently processing 6.6 tons of concentrate, from Golden Anvil, SA de CV ("Golden Anvil"), a small-scale Mexican producer, through the primary refining circuit and plating-out the metals from the pregnant solution. Additional concentrate is being received from toll processing clients, including an additional 8 tons of concentrate already received from Golden Anvil. We are continuing to develop additional sources of toll processing concentrate to maximize current operations. Our short-term objective is to maximize the feed rate to the Phoenix Facility to achieve 1,000 lbs per hour, 8 hours per day, 5 days per week within 45 days.

We are also in discussions with other mining groups, from Canada, Mexico and the US, to license our proprietary environmentally friendly lixiviation process, to process and refine their ore in our Facility or to joint venture on their mining projects.
