Minera IRL Limited Executive Chairman, Courtney Chamberlain, comments "Corihuarmi has, once again, performed beyond our expectations. Gold production was 10% above budget and spot gold sales achieved a price of over US$1,200 per ounce. The net effect was that revenue from Corihuami for the quarter of US$9.9 million exceeded the previous quarter by US$1.5 million and the corresponding quarter of 2009 by US$3.2 million, close to a 50% increase. The margin also improved with costs decreasing to US$365/oz providing increased cash to apply to our project development and exploration activities."

An amended Environmental Impact Assessment will be lodged in the next quarter with the authorities to allow ore production to be increased by 35% to 2 million tonnes per annum in 2011. This will allow economies of scale to be applied toward profitably treating lower grade ore which will be particularly attractive at high gold prices. The extra capacity will also allow large scale production trials on broken scree material with an inferred resource of 3,765,000 tonnes grading 0.45g/t containing 54,600 ounces of gold.

Production and cost statistics from Corihuarmi have been internally generated by Minera IRL and are unaudited.
