Millennium Minerals Limited announced that ongoing drilling at the Golden Gate Mining Centre, part of its 100%-owned Nullagine Gold Project in Western Australia, is delivering very positive results, confirming its potential to form a major new mining hub that will form a key part of its future production plans. The Golden Gate Mining Centre is located approximately 36km north-east of the Nullagine processing plant, and has delivered some of the highest-grade gold deposits mined at the Nullagine Project to date. Current drilling programs are designed to increase both the high-grade open pit and underground Resources at Golden Gate, with this area expected to deliver Millennium's second underground mine at Nullagine, as well as providing an important source of ore for its Sulphide Expansion Project, putting the Company on-track to maintain its 100,000 ounce per annum production rate in 2019. The company is targeting a Decision to Mine on the proposed underground development at Golden Gate by the end of 2018 with commissioning of the expanded sulphide plant on track for first quarter 2019. Recent drilling has delivered high-grade results from the Condor Northwest, Condor and ABC Reef deposits. Millennium Chief Executive Peter Cash said the results from Golden Gate added further momentum to the Company's growth plans, which are aimed at maintaining the recently-achieved 100kozpa production rate and increasing mine life to at least five years. Condor Northwest returned the following significant results: 13m @ 7.13g/t Au from 57m including 2m @ 26.2g/t Au and 2m @ 13.64g/t Au (CORD120). 7m @ 3.02g/t Au from 22m including 1m @ 12.35g/t Au (CORD114). 7m @ 3.18g/t Au from surface including 2m @ 7.3g/t Au (CORD115). 4m @ 3.20g/t Au from 65m including 1m @ 7.35g/t Au (CORD102). 12m @ 1.43g/t Au from 27m (CORD112). At Condor significant results included: 12m @ 3.07g/t Au from 98m including 4m @ 6.46g/t Au (CORD095). 5m @ 3.49g/t Au from 172m including 1m @ 10.65g/t Au (CORD129). 2m @ 4.35g/t Au from 65m including 1m @ 8.03g/t Au (CORD099). A nominal 20m x 20m program commenced in November (14 RC holes for 1,731m have been completed to date ­ Figure 3) to test the depth potential beneath the ABC Reef, Crow, D Reef and Harrier pit. This drilling is designed to both test the sulphide potential and provide material for metallurgical test work. A further 23 RC holes for 1,618m remain to be drilled in this program. ABC Reef returned the following significant results: 17m @ 1.83g/t Au from 52m (ABCRD030). 7m @ 6.13g/t Au from 96m including 3m @ 11.04g/t Au (ABCRD037). 9m @ 2.66g/t Au from 129m including 1m @ 16.4g/t Au (ABCRD037). 10m @ 2.67g/t Au from 94m including 2m @ 9.27g/t Au (ABCRD049). Deeper and Extensional Program; A program comprising 21 RC holes for 2,914m (blue traces in Figures 2 and 3) has been planned to test the depth potential beneath Condor and the mineralisation parallel to the Crow deposit. Drilling will also target oxide mineralisation parallel to Crow, with the drilling aimed at identifying extensions along strike up to the northern end of the ABC Reef deposit.
