28th Jun 2011, 2:43 am

CGA Mining (ASX: CGX, TSX: CGA) is ramping up exploration at the Masbate Gold Project in the Philippines by allocating a US$20 million exploration budget for financial year 2012, almost triple the current years spend.

CGA has planned to undertake an extensive 144,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling, and 28,000 metres of diamond drilling, principally focused on converting Inferred resources to Reserves.

The company also aims to identify new Reserves and Resources from both extensions to existing pits and a number of new targets.

CGA continues to deliver from Masbate, and exceed expectations, and earlier in the month announced a new monthly throughput production record for May.

During May the company processed 605,330 tonnes at a throughput rate of 870dtph and an availability of 93.51%, equating to an annual throughput rate of 7.1mtpa.

The result is that 17,074 gold ounces were produced for the month, with a gross value of around US$26.3 million, based on the then gold spot price of US$1540 an ounce.

Production is expected to continue to increase, with the commissioning of a supplementary crusher due in the September 2011 quarter.

Masbate is the largest gold project in the Philippines and has a total Indicated Resource base of 4.55 million ounces, a total Inferred Resource base of 3.22 million ounces and a Probable Reserve of 3.03 million ounces.

In the first year of operation the project produced over 150,000 ounces, with the May production highlighting the company is on track to produce at a rate of around 200,000 ounces annually.
