Gryphon Gold Successfully Completes First Test Production Pour At ADR Plant

CARSON CITY, NV - Gryphon Gold Corporation has successfully completed a test production run at its Adsorption Desorption Recovery (the ADR) plant in Nevada. The test included the pouring of two dor bars from loaded carbon extracted from the Company’s Borealis Oxide Heap Leach Project (the Borealis Project). The dorÄ bars have been sent for laboratory testing and full results of the weight and the percentage of gold and silver contained in the bars are expected to be received this month.

James T. O’Neil Jr., CEO of Gryphon Gold Corporation commented, This is a significant step forward for our Borealis Project as we have overcome the issues that slowed the ADR project start-up. As planned, a successful test pour was made at the end of March that demonstrates our ability to convert loaded carbon into dorÄ bars, and this process is expected to provide measurable value for our heap leach production. We expect the ADR facility construction and start up to be fully completed in the next few weeks, while we continue to process dorÄ bars. Our heap leach process is operating significantly better and the leaching cycle continues to advance, which we believe bodes well for future production.
