ANTHEM UNITED INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION FROM THE KORICANCHA MILL, PROVIDES COMMISSIONING UPDATE

Anthem United Inc. has commenced production of gold and silver dore from its gold milling operation in Peru (the Koricancha mill), and is providing an update on commissioning activities at the Koricancha mill.

First gold and silver production

In connection with initial commissioning, harvest of loaded carbon from the Koricancha mill during August and September has produced approximately 2,665 ounces of gold and 2,556 ounces of silver in dore. Further, the Koricancha mill has now also completed first exportation and sale of refined gold and silver.

Greg Smith, president and chief executive officer, commented: "First production of gold and silver is always a significant event in the commissioning of a new plant, and I would like to take this opportunity to commend and thank the Koricancha, EMC Green Group and Anthem teams for their efforts in realizing this accomplishment. I'd further like to thank our local stakeholders and shareholders for their significant support to date."

Gold and silver production and sales are expected to increase, as deliveries and stockpiles of mineralized mill feed continue to escalate, and additional available processing capacity is brought on-line.

Koricancha mill commissioning

Construction of the Koricancha mill is substantially complete with all critical infrastructure and equipment in place with the exception of the on-site chemical lab. Construction of the chemical lab is currently in progress and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter. To date, the Koricancha mill has been using local third party laboratories for chemical analysis.

Commissioning activities at the Koricancha mill commenced in late June and continued through September. The crushing circuit, the milling circuit, the recovery circuit, the tailings facility and support infrastructure are now fully commissioned.

Deliveries of mineralized mill feed have been accelerating with approximately 6,700 tonnes received during commissioning to Sept. 30. As deliveries and stockpiles of mineralized feed continue to increase over the next several months, available capacity will be brought on-line as needed, up to the 350-tonne-per-day total plant capacity.

As the company has now demonstrated the operating capability of the plant after several months of commissioning, it will commence accounting for operations at the Koricancha mill on a commercial production basis as of Oct. 1.
