As of November 16, 2019, Farafina Gold Group is in the process of completing infrastructure development required for the penetration in the quartz block and repairing damages to the mine shaft (caused by errors on the part of the former mining manager, which emerged during the rainy season).

By the end of November, the preparation of the mine shaft, drainage system, power supply and auxiliary facilities for the start of drilling in quartz with blasting and associated gold mining will be almost complete. Gold mining operations are scheduled to begin in the first half of December 2019.

Scheduled projects include:

– acquisition and installation of an additional generator with 100 kVA capacity;
– the commissioning of a high-performance Sulzer submersible drainage pump, which ensures effective removal of water from the mine shaft in the entire range of depths planned for penetration, including during the rainy season;
– putting into commission a drainage pipeline system throughout the entire shaft, which includes the primary and backup pump connection lines, the overflow piping system and bypass system;
– expansion of living quarters for employees to support round-the-clock shift work schedule  (two-shift work schedule has now been introduced from 7 AM to 11 PM);
– organization of premises for engineers with the aim of providing continuous round-the-clock monitoring and process control;
– construction and commissioning of stationary sanitary facilities;
– creation and commissioning of a system of ground trenches for water drainage from a mine to a relief (in the future, the system will expand to a system of irrigation facilities to ensure water drainage during the rainy season).

The enclosed photos further document the projects completed in the first half of November 2019.

No significant deviations in the bond interest payment schedule are expected.

Considering that both bond issues have been fully subscribed, and the first one expires in January 2020, the management is contemplating a new bond issuance following the start of production and issuance of the second production license.

The next progress report will be issued in early December.
