Borneo Commences Construction of 10,000 Ton Leach Pad at New Ratatotok Processing Area

NEW YORK, January 13, 2015 / Borneo Resource Investments Ltd. (the "Company" or "Borneo") (OTCQB: BRNE), a mining company that mines gold and develops producing gold mining properties in Indonesia, today announced that work has commenced on the construction of a 10,000 ton leach pad on the recently acquired property adjacent to the original 2,500 ton facility. Site clearing work has commenced and is expected to take approximately 2 weeks, following which, the leach pad and associated infrastructure including plumbing, carbon processing facilities and tailing ponds will be assembled, with completion anticipated by the end of January.

Trial production on the new pad is anticipated by mid-February, with a projected output of 4-6kg of 99% pure gold, valued, at current prices, at between $160,000 and $240,000.

In announcing this development, Borneo CEO Nils Ollquist commented, "Having established the bona fides of the ore quality on both the Ratatotok properties, we are now in the process of making a sustained effort to build production levels to maximize our return from these investments. Following the successful trial of the first 10,000 ton pad, we will construct a second 10,000 ton facility immediately adjacent. We will also complete the upgrade of the original 2,500 ton pad to 5,000 tons. On completion of this expansion program, we will be employing a total of 30,000 tons of capacity for each 3 week production cycle. With a tested average ore grade of over 2g/ton, output from the upgraded facilities should approximate 10-15kg per month or around $400,000 to $600,000 additional monthly revenue."
