PERTH , Western Australia , Oct. 11 /CNW/ - Adamus Resources (ASX: ADU, "Adamus" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on developments at the Company's Southern Ashanti Gold Project (Southern Ashanti) in Ghana .

The Company is in the midst of a very busy period with sitework activities having commenced. Over the last two months, Adamus has announced :

    
    -  the securing of its first critical plant item, a 3.5MW SAG mill
    -  the appointment of a number of key personnel to the Board and
       management team
    -  $40 million of new equity raising in the first stage of project
       financing

    Siteworks

    Adamus has commenced work on two key siteworks projects :

    -  relocation of Salman Village, and
    -  determining the route of the new power supply from the Ghanaian
       National electricity grid
    

Much of the infrastructure for project development will be conducted by Adamus' in-house engineering team. Critical preparatory items are being commenced now to better ensure project completion timing.

Relocation of Salman Community Village

Site clearing is now 60% completed on the new village site. The chosen site was purchased last year for the relocation of the Salman village. All social and environmental approvals have previously been granted.

One of Adamus' objectives with the village relocation is, where possible, to ensure the community villagers themselves are actively employed to participate in the building process and develop an active ongoing local building capacity and skills industry for their enduring benefit.

Adamus' initiative has been to trial-manufacture the bricks for the village on site. A demonstration house using these onsite made materials is currently being constructed.

Plant Site

The site has been accurately surveyed and compensation for cash crops is being negotiated. It is intended that plant site clearing will commence following the new village clearing in the current quarter. Adamus will prepare the site for the Plant-build engineers to commence construction in Q1 2010.

The plant engineering contractor will be selected this month from final tenders which were submitted on schedule during September.

Electricity Supply

A route has been chosen and surveyed to bring the Ghana National grid power up to 16kms from Essiama to the Southern Ashanti plant site. It is currently expected that the line will be constructed under the specific management of the local power authority, again an initiative of Adamus to utilize local skilled contractors where possible for the development of the infrastructure and related facilities.

Adamus expects the connection to be completed in Q3 2010.
