Doray Minerals : Mining Resumed at Deflector

10 AUGUST 2018

MINING RESUMED AT DEFLECTOR

Doray Minerals Limited ("Doray" or "the Company") (ASX: DRM) is pleased to advise that underground mining has resumed at the Company's Deflector Gold Copper Mine.

The resumption occurred after a thorough safety inspection of the area where a remote controlled loader had caught fire on Wednesday, 8 August 2018. Although no one was injured in the incident, Doray immediately suspended underground mining in line with its priority focus on the safety and well-being of Deflector's workforce.

Managing Director Leigh Junk said a standard re-entry of the mine was undertaken yesterday to assess the area affected by the fire and to ensure that no further hazards existed.

The re-entry confirmed that there were no impediments to a safe resumption of mining activities.

"This is a very pleasing recovery following Wednesday's fire incident," he said.

"Our first priority will always be the safety of our people. The decision to resume mining was only taken because the workplace has been confirmed safe.

"As unwelcome as Wednesday's incident was, the safe and orderly resolution demonstrates the high quality of Deflector's emergency response capabilities and Doray's entrenched safety culture."

Mr Junk confirmed that the two-day interruption to underground mining would not affect Deflector's production guidance because stockpiled ore had continued to be processed during the period.

Doray is continuing its investigation into the cause of the fire.
