9 December 2009 Kryso Resources plc (`Kryso' or `the Company') BFS Update
Kryso Resources plc (AIM: KYS), the gold exploration and development company focused on the Pakrut gold project in Tajikistan, has been advised by the Beijing General Research Institute of Mining & Metallurgy (BGRIMM) that completion of the Pakrut bankable feasibility study (`BFS') is now anticipated in early 2010.
A delay to the BFS has occurred as a result of the later than expected availability of the Pakrut JORC Code-compliant resource update (the resource update was announced on 17 November 2009).
About the Pakrut Gold Project
The Pakrut gold project, of which Kryso has 100% ownership, is situated in Tajikistan approximately 112 km northeast of the capital city Dushanbe.
Pakrut has total JORC Code-compliant gold resources of 2,830,104 oz Au (assuming a cut-off grade of 0.5g/t Au) and is located within the Tien Shan gold belt, which extends from Uzbekistan into Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and western China, and which hosts a number of multi-million ounce gold deposits.
Drilling at Pakrut has previously returned numerous exciting intersections, including 123.7m at 6.14g/t Au, 42m at 11.17g/t Au and 50m at 5.67g/t Au.
A bankable feasibility study for the Pakrut project is currently being undertaken by the Beijing General Research Institute of Mining & Metallurgy. The bankable feasibility study is targeted for completion in early 2010.
An internal prefeasibility study completed in 2008 envisaged a mining operation at Pakrut producing in excess of 100,000oz Au per annum with cash costs of approximately US$300/oz Au.
