FIRST CONCENTRATE PRODUCTION AT KANMANTOO

Hillgrove Resources Limited (ASX: HGO) is pleased to advise that first copper concentrate has been produced through the filters at the Company’s Kanmantoo Copper Mine Project, south-east of Adelaide in South Australia.

Initial concentrate grades are in the range of 24-27%, which is considered excellent given the low grade feed used for commissioning activity. Ore feed has now moved to higher grade material (0.7- 0.9% Cu), of which more than 300,000 tonnes is now stock-piled on the Run-of-Mine (ROM) pad. The Company expects first revenue in December 2011, following delivery of a minimum of 2,500 tonnes of copper concentrate to its storage facilities at Port Adelaide.
