Significant intercepts at Tri-K Project, Guinea
Avocet Mining PLC ("Avocet" or "the Company") announces
significant intercepts from recent infill drilling at the Tri-K
Development Project (the "Project") in Guinea. The drilling has
been conducted as part of the ongoing feasibility study and mining
licence application process for an oxide heap leach operation.
The Project consists of a series of permits in northeast Guinea,
with the main prospects (Kodiéran and Koulékoun) located
approximately 20 kilometres apart. The Project currently has a
total Mineral Resource of 3.2 million ounces, of which
approximately 0.6 million ounces are expected to be hosted in oxide
ore amenable to heap leach, subject to metallurgical testing.
Infill drilling at Kodiéran has been completed in order to upgrade
the predominantly Inferred Mineral Resource estimate within the
oxide zone to the Measured and Indicated categories, ahead of the
maiden Ore Reserve estimate being made. Drilling for this
particular campaign consisted of approximately 25,000 metres of
reverse circulation drilling, from 318 drill holes.
A table of all drill intersections is shown in the appendices.
Highlights are as follows:
-- KD000575: 36 metres @ 6.84 g/t Au from surface;
-- KD000508: 21 metres @ 9.29 g/t Au from 27 metres depth, and
11 metres @ 12.10 g/t Au from 49 metres depth;
-- KD000639: 34 metres @ 8.45 g/t Au from 24 metres depth;
-- KD000504: 27 metres @ 6.89 g/t Au from 63 metres depth;
-- KD000644: 47 metres @ 3.70 g/t Au from 14 metres depth;
-- KD000635: 37 metres @ 4.45 g/t Au from 27 metres depth;
-- KD000632: 35 metres @ 4.68 g/t Au from 40 metres depth; and
-- KD000647: 81 metres @ 1.86 g/t Au from 1 metre depth.
The feasibility study for Tri-K is for a heap leach operation to
process the uppermost, oxidised portion of the orebody, including
all of the above drill intersections. Exploitation of the fresh
component of the orebody will be considered at a later date.
Commenting on these drill results, David Cather, Chief Executive
Officer for Avocet, stated:
"This phase of drilling was completed as part of the process to
establish a maiden reserve at Tri-K, which has the potential to
become Guinea's next gold mine. Whilst the full impact of these
intersections will not be fully known until this drilling is
incorporated in the Tri-K Mineral Resource estimate, these results
are nonetheless excellent."

deposit at Inata currently comprises a Mineral Resource of 4.7
million ounces and an Ore Reserve of 0.9 million ounces. The Inata
Gold Mine poured its first gold in December 2009 and produced
135,189 ounces of gold in 2012.
Other assets in Burkina Faso include eight exploration permits
surrounding the Inata Gold Mine in the broader Bélahouro region.
The most advanced of these projects is Souma, some 20 kilometres
from the Inata Gold Mine, where there is a Mineral Resources
estimate of 0.8 million ounces.
In Guinea, Avocet owns exploration licences in the north east of
the country. Mineral Resource development has been ongoing since
2005 and the Tri-K project is the most advanced, which currently
