Excelsior Mining Provides Production Update

Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2020) - Excelsior Mining Corp. (TSX: MIN) (FSE: 3XS) (OTCQX: EXMGF) ("Excelsior" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update following the first month of mining operations at the Gunnison Copper Project in Southern Arizona. Excelsior has collected a significant amount of data over the first month of operations and based on the data has identified optimization programs that are currently being implemented.

Excelsior is initiating the following optimizations to the production wellfield:

  • Improved preventative maintenance to limit pump and wellfield down-time; and
  • Injection wells will be retrofitted with pumps allowing them to be used as recovery wells when needed; and
  • Wellheads and related piping are to be reconfigured to allow for both injection and recovery operations in each well, this addition will make the wellfield entirely reversable in terms of fluid flow; thereby allowing for greater flexibility during operations.

These upgrades were planned to take place over time once nameplate production had been achieved; however, the Company has decided to implement these changes now during the ramp-up period to assist with breakthrough and production optimization. These changes are not material in terms of capital outlays, but this work is expected to push first copper production to Q2, 2020.

Stephen Twyerould, President & CEO, said, "Our initial copper recoveries are highly encouraging; and the implementation of these improvement programs keeps us focused on achieving long-term, low-cost copper production as soon as possible."
