CALGARY, Jan. 21, 2014 /CNW/ - TVI Pacific Inc. (TSX:TVI) (OTCQX:TVIPF) ("TVI" or the "Company") announced today that its Philippine operating affiliate, TVI Resource
Development Philippines, Inc. ("TVIRD"), completed its seventh shipment of zinc concentrate produced at the
Canatuan mine on January 7, 2014.
-
5,069 dry metric tonnes (dmt) of zinc concentrate was shipped containing
42.25% zinc;
-
Gross revenue of US$3.3 million is expected to be received for the
shipment.
The Company's seventh shipment of 5,069 dmt of zinc concentrate left the
port of Santa Maria in Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte, in accordance with
the off-take arrangement between TVIRD and MRI Trading AG ("MRI") on January 7, 2014. TVIRD expects to receive gross revenue of
approximately US$3.3 million from MRI for this shipment (pending final
assay and price adjustments). This is the last zinc concentrate
shipment from the current mining operations as ore reserves from the
open pit have been exhausted. It is expected that at least one more
shipment of copper concentrate will be scheduled.
Before the implementation of the mine decommissioning plan as stated in
Management's Discussion and Analysis for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013, and as filed on SEDAR on November 12, 2013, TVIRD
will do further condemnation drilling and exploration work in areas
