VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX:R) (BVL:R) (OTCQX:RDEMF) is pleased to provide an update on operations at the Santa Rosa Gold Project, Antioquia, Colombia. The mill ran at 727 tonnes per day, processing 22,549 tonnes at 3.89 grams per tonne gold producing 2,651 ounces of gold in March.
San Ramon currently has 21 active attack ramps with 17 in production (which provided 44 active ore production faces in March) and the remaining attack ramps in breasting and backfill. Stope mining operations continued to ramp up with 614 tonnes per day mined in March. With the arrival of the final scoops in April and development currently underway, five new attack ramps are expected to be completed by the end of May to begin ore production in high-grade areas to the west, to the east and at depth from existing production areas. These additional production faces will allow mining rates to continue to increase to 1,000 tonnes per day as planned with gold production steadily increasing throughout the second quarter.
