ABOUT MEDUSA MINING LIMITED
Medusa Mining Limited("Medusa" or the "Company"), a public company listed on the
ASX, AIM and the TSX, is an Australian based gold producer, focussed solely on
the Philippines.
With current mineral resources comprising Indicated 580,000 ounces of gold and
Inferred 1,310,000 ounces of gold, Medusa's corporate strategy is to become a
mid tier 300,000 to 400,000 ounce per year gold producer.
The Company is currently expanding its high grade Co-O Mine operations
(Indicated Resources 580,000 ounces of gold inclusive of a Probable Reserve of
500,000 ounces of gold, and Inferred Resources 660,000 ounces of gold) to
increase its forecast production to 100,000 ounces per year in 2010, and is
conducting near mine exploration to assess the possibilities of further
expansion to 200,000 ounces per year. Current cash costs at the Co-O Mine are
approximately US$190 per ounce.
A pipe-line of deposits is now being established with the Bananghilig Deposit
(Inferred Resource of 650,000 ounces of gold) recently added and which is
expected to expand, potentially in conjunction with nearby discoveries.
Further potential upside exists in the discovery of substantial copper deposits
within the tenement holding of > 800km2.
