FIRE RIVER GOLD CORP. ANNOUNCES CONCENTRATE SALES AGREEMENT
Fire River Gold Corp. has negotiated a three-year contract with Glencore International Ltd. for the sale of the
copper concentrate produced at Nixon Fork gold mine. The gold-rich
copper concentrate is to have moderate copper content which has varied
from 10 per cent to 25 per cent historically.
The concentrate will leave Nixon Fork gold mine in one-tonne totes on
pallets aboard a C130 Hercules aircraft, which will amount to
approximately 900 wet (less than 10-per-cent moisture) metric tonnes per year.
The product will be transported to Anchorage where it will be
transferred and loaded into 40-foot international shipping containers,
then barged to Seattle. The final destination for the product will be a
smelter in the Philippines.
Approximately half of Fire River Gold's revenue from the Nixon Fork gold
mine will be generated from the sale of the gold-rich copper
concentrate and the other half from the sale of the dore bars to the
Johnson Matthey refinery in Utah. (Please see news release dated July 11, 2011.)
We seek Safe Harbor.
