In response to recent speculation regarding the Pampalo Gold Mine start-up schedule, Endomines confirms its plans to start commercial production during Q1/2011. Test runs began as scheduled in late November, and currently these focus on ensuring that all processing equipment is working correctly.

"We have experienced some minor problems in the grinding mill and crushing plant, but these are being addressed by their respective suppliers under guarantee, and thus at no expense to Endomines.  These problems have delayed the planned production start-up by a few weeks. We remain confident nevertheless, that we can maintain our planned start-up schedule", says Markus Ekberg, CEO of Endomines.
