09.07.2010 | Marketwire
Vancouver, July 9, 2010 - Kola Mining Corporation ("Kola Mining", "the Company") (TSX VENTURE: KM) (FRANKFURT: C8M) announces that, further to its news release of April 6, 2010, the Company is in receipt of preliminary results of the metallurgical tests for the Souker Nickel deposit. The preliminary results indicate that the recovery of nickel in the deposit is much lower than anticipated. These tests were conducted by Moscow Steel and Alloys Institute. At this time additional follow up work is required, however if there is no improvement in recovery rates, the Company believes the project to be uneconomical at today's nickel prices. The Company is considering its options for the project and will apply to the State Resource Committee (the GKZ) in order to extend the license term and to keep the property until, and in the event that, technical advances are made that would allow for better metallurgical recoveries. The Company will be recording an impairment charge to the carrying value of the Souker project in its financial statements.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of KOLA MINING CORPORATION
