For immediate release

Xtract Resources Plc

("Xtract" or the "Company")

Production Update

 

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") announces the preliminary unaudited results for all alluvial and hard rock mining contractors for the Manica Concession, for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 (the "Period").

 

Highlights

· Total mining contractor gold production of 67.67Kg for the quarter, equivalent to approximately 2,176 ounces

· Total of 13.22Kg (equivalent to approximately 425 ounces) attributable to Explorator

· Value of Explorator share of gold produced US$794,797

· Gold sales in period of 384 ounces

· Combined attributable revenue to Explorator from gold sales and other income for the Period amounted to US$614,257

· Fair Bride continued to progress satisfactorily

 

 

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "The results for Q1 of this year were satisfactory, especially when one considers that the results were achieved during an aggressive rain and cyclone season. As at today's date, Fair Bride production has started with the introduction of low-grade ore to commission all parts of the processing circuit. We expect that by the end of Q3 Fair Bride should be up to full commercial production. The production will build up gradually as some of the gold gets locked up in the circuit and faults are identified and rectified. I look forward to production results from Fair Bride as well as from the alluvial and the small hard rock deposits ".
