Marketwired Canada
Kilo Goldmines Ltd. ("KGL" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KGL) (FRANKFURT:02K)
is pleased to announce that it has implemented a series of cost cutting measures
to enhance cash retention.
Following the completion of the 2103 drilling program on August 6, the company
is implementing the following:
-- All senior staff and board members are taking a 20% salary and fee cut
effective October 1st
-- DRC staff has been reduced to care and maintenance level only
-- Exploration support contractors (helicopter, sample laboratory
operation, security) are being suspended or reduced according to current
needs
-- Jim Williams has resigned from the board effective 30 September
-- The Randgold Joint Venture continues using some Kilo personnel &
equipment
The DRC staff has been reduced to a minimum level sufficient for keeping the
exploration camp in good standing, and security staff with the security
contactor has been reduced accordingly. Other contractors are being demobilized
until further notice.
The Company is awaiting final assay results from the ALS laboratory in
Johannesburg for final interpretation. As announced on August 15, the Company
has retained Roscoe Postle Associates for the review of the data with the
objective of the establishment of a mineral resource on the Kitenge and Manzako
prospects, and this work is ongoing pending the final assay results. It is
expected that a report will be available during Q4. Furthermore, the Company is
conducting an extensive review of its data with specialist consultants such as
geochemistry experts to assess additional exploration targets on its properties.
The joint venture between Kilo Goldmines and Randgold Resources Limited is
proceeding as scheduled. Randgold is hiring some of the Company's equipment and
utilizing some of its personnel.
David Netherway, Chairman of KGL stated: "The company's portfolio is highly
prospective which warrants continued development, and the company is exercising
prudent financial management to ensure its long term success considering the
state of the mining industry in the short term. It is a tribute to our personnel
and their belief in the upside of the project that they have been exceptionally
receptive to these cost cutting measures to enhance the long term success of the
company. In particular I would like to thank Jim Williams for his service and
his voluntary resignation to assist in this cost-cutting exercise."
