Armistice Resources Reports Installation of Additional Key Infrastructure at McGarry Gold Mine

• Company now has 3,000 tons of ore on surface and 3,000 tons underground ready for processing
• New double-skipping loading pocket installed on 2250 level
• Excavation of underground maintenance facilities
• Improved shaft bottom dewatering sump

TORONTO, Dec. 11, 2012 /CNW/ - Armistice Resources Corp. (TSX: AZ) , operator of the McGarry gold mine in Ontario's Kirkland Lake area, today reported that it has completed additional key infrastructure aimed at improving production efficiency on the 2250 Level.

"Our dedicated team has made extensive progress by focusing attention on completing a number of very important infrastructure installations as we aim for commercial production in the new year," said Todd J. Morgan, chief executive officer and president. "The objective of these construction projects is to be pre-emptive by eliminating potential bottlenecks in the production process. As a result of these components, we now have hoisted approximately 3,000 tons of broken ore to surface with an additional 3,000 tons underground.

Some of the ongoing developments include the following.

2250 Shaft Loading Pocket - Double-Skipping Capable

Armistice has made serviceable the 2250 Level station on the east side of the shaft. The company has installed a new loading pocket on the 2250 Level and it is now fully capable of skipping ore and waste in both compartments. The completion of the grizzly installation and loading chute has effectively doubled the mine's capability for the skipping of ore and waste.

Underground 2250 Level Maintenance Infrastructure

All the excavation work for the new maintenance shop facilities, the wash bay, and the fuel bay on the 2250 Level is now complete. Final touch up shotcreting of the main shop and the establishment of concrete floors remains in these areas. Once completed, excellent maintenance facilities for mobile and drilling equipment will be available underground.

Improvements to Secondary Underground Sump System

As part of the ongoing improvements to the dewatering system that feeds the main sump on the 2250 Level, secondary sumps have been installed in the 325N stoping area and the shaft bottom. These secondary sumps will reduce the amount of suspended solids which would otherwise report to the mains sumps. The new sumps are designed for easy removal of collected fines produced by the normal activity in the mine. This installation will be an important feature to control additional solids and fines generated from increased production work.
