MONUMENT'S 2012 FIRST QUARTER PRODUCTION

Monument Mining Ltd. has released its first-quarter production results for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2011. Full financial and operating results for the quarter will be released by the end of November, 2011. All amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The first quarter production results from the company's Selinsing gold mine maintain the consistent plant operations since it was put into commercial production in September, 2010. Total gold produced this quarter was 11,846 ounces compared with the previous year's quarterly average of 11,109, for an increase of 7 per cent. The average realized price per ounce of gold sold was $1,724 this quarter compared with $1,400 in the previous fiscal year for an increase of 23 per cent. The average processing recovery rate was 95.1 per cent for the three-month period. Cathy Zhai, chief financial officer of Monument Mining, said, "With this year's upward-trending gold prices, we are able to capitalize on higher gold prices compared with last year with resultant increased cash flow."
