09.04.2013  |  CNW

/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES AND NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES./

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 9, 2013 /CNW/ - OceanaGold Corporation (ASX: OGC, TSX: OGC, NZX: OGC) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the first shipment of the Didipio concentrate from the San Fernando port in the Philippines.

Highlights

  • First shipment of approximately 5,000 dry tonnes of copper-gold concentrate now en route to Hibi, Japan

  • First cash receipt for Didipio concentrate due mid April

  • 1,500 dry tonnes of copper-gold concentrate currently at port

  • 8,800 dry tonnes of copper-gold concentrate currently at Didipio mine site

  • Next 5,000 tonne shipment expected late April 2013

OceanaGold Managing Director and CEO, Mick Wilkes, said "Commissioning activities continue to progress well at the Didipio mine. To date, we have produced over 15,000 dry tonnes of copper-gold concentrate and the first shipment of the Didipio concentrate is another significant milestone for the operations team. The process plant continues to ramp up well and recoveries of copper are approaching steady-state expectations. Gold recoveries are also increasing and will be further boosted as the gold head grade increases. As we further optimise the transportation logistics combined with regular outbound shipments to smelters, we expect to be in a position to announce commercial operations during this quarter."
