Update on timing of Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Coringa Gold Project

Serabi Gold plc (AIM: SRB, TSX: SBI), the Brazilian focused gold mining and development company, advises that its independent consultants, Global Resource Engineering (“GRE”), have requested further time to complete their work and deliver the results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (”PEA”) of Serabi’s Coringa gold project.  The timing has had to be extended following the Company’s decision to switch to a dry stacking solution and dispense with a conventional tailings dam which has impacted on the process flow sheet design. The consultants have undertaken to Serabi that the results will be available before the end of August and will make every effort to deliver them earlier

Mike Hodgson, CEO of Serabi commented:

“Whilst we had planned for to be able to issue the results of the PEA during this week, we expect the delay in completion will be limited, and look forward to the publication of the PEA results later this month.”
