All cylinders firing at New Liberty

Aureus Mining’s New Liberty operation became Liberia’s first gold mine in May. Since then, the company has moved at an impressive pace with nameplate capacity achieved at the plant in recent days and first gold doré expected to be shipped to Switzerland for refining next week. As obstacles are cleared with apparent ease, there is every reason to have faith in management to deliver full scale production by the fourth quarter as scheduled.
