Maudore Receives Certificate of Authorization to Begin Processing of Abcourt's Elder Mine Production at Their Sleeping Giant Mill

MONTREAL, Sept. 17, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Greg Struble, President and CEO of Maudore Minerals Ltd. (MAO: TSX-Venture; MAOMF: US OTC; M6L: Frankfurt Exchange) reports that its subsidiary Aurbec Mines Inc. (Aurbec) has received authorization from the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks to begin custom treating ore feed from Abcourt's Elder mine at the Sleeping Giant processing plant which is located some 80 km north of Amos, Quebec in the Northern Volcanic Zone of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.

As previously reported on August 16^th, Aurbec and Abcourt have signed an agreement whereby Aurbec would treat the mine production from Abcourt's Elder mine located near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec once the required permits were in place. On September 11^th, that permission was received opening up the ability for the processing work to proceed.

All site preparation at the Sleeping Giant has been completed to receive this additional ore source and the logistics have been completed between both companies in order to commence shipments as early as this week. For Aurbec, this will allow the company to maintain the plant workforce once the current mine out phase of the Vezza project is completed at the end of September. This custom milling agreement will "bridge the gap" between the end of the Vezza Project feed and the ongoing ramp up of the Sleeping Giant mine production which was announced in our August 27^th press release regarding the start of the new underground diamond drilling program.
