GLENCAIRN GOLD: BELLAVISTA UPDATE
Glencairn Gold Corporation (the Company) advises that a localized landslide at its Bellavista Mine, resulting from the previously announced ground movement and continuing heavy rains, caused significant damage to the structure of its ADR recovery plant. There was no injury to personnel. As previously disclosed, the Company took the proactive measure of stopping the application of cyanide on July 25, 2007 and rinsing the leach pad. All contaminants have been removed from the site and, as a result of rinsing of the leach pad, there has been no release of cyanide into the environment.
While the slide caused damage to the ADR plant structure, the Company expects that the major plant equipment can be salvaged and it is not expected that the damage will impact the scope of the US$40 to 50 million impairment charge to the Bellavista assets discussed in previous press releases.
Until the ground becomes stabilized and the rainy season ends, localized slides are not unexpected. The Company does not perceive that there is any risk of further damage to any existing facilities including the grinding mill, which is located in another area of the site, as a result of ground movement. The Company is continuing to monitor the ground movement and is cooperating with all local and government agencies.
