Mangazeya Mining Ltd announces receipt of “NI 43-101 Technical Report on Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Estimate for the Nasedkino Gold Project, Russian Federation"
Tortola, BVI – 28 August 2017 – Mangazeya Mining Ltd (NEX: MGZ.H) (“Mangazeya" or the “Company") announces receipt of the Technical Report titled “NI 43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Estimates for the Nasedkino Gold Project, Russian Federation" (the “NI 43-101Technical Report") for Daltsvetmet (an affiliated company of Mangazeya). This review was to assess the data and potential for the Mineral Resource estimate to be classified in compliance with the JORC Code (2012), which is acceptable under the National Instrument (NI) 43-101. The NI 43-101 Technical Report states that the Nasedkino Mineral Resource estimate amounted to approximately 10.2 Mt at 2.25 g/t Au resulting in a contained content of 740 Koz Au. The Ore Reserve estimates amounted to approximately 9.1 Mt at 2.17 g/t Au resulting in a contained content of 634 Koz Au; this Ore Reserve estimate represents an 11% increase in Mineral Resource contained ounces and a 21% increase in Ore Reserve contained ounces compared to the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates previously estimated by SRK Consulting in the technical report issued in October 2012. This NI 43- 101 Technical Report was prepared by Wardell Armstrong International Ltd (“WAI") and issued in August 2017 as an integral part of the Company's evaluation of the Nasedkino development and additional exploration. This NI 43-101 Technical Report will be filed on SEDAR. The updated Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates are set out in the tables below. This 43-101 Technical Report updates the “43-101 Technical Report for Nasedkino Project, Mogocha, Transbaikal Region, Russian Federation dated October 10, 2012 by SRK Consulting ("SRK").
Highlights:
•The NI 43-101 Technical Report estimated that the Indicated Mineral Resources of the Nasedkino project amount to approximately 10.2 Mt at 2.25 g/t Au, 740 Koz. Au, and
•Ore reserves amount to approximately 9.1 Mt at 2.17 g/t Au, 634 Koz. Au.
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
WAI made a review of the methods and quality of the exploration in 2006-2008, 2011-2012, and 2015, including the processes and methodology of mineral resource estimation with the JORC Code (2012). Table 1 summarizes the classified Mineral Resources (reported under the JORC Code (2012), effective estimation date 10 February 2017).

The gold price of US$1,100/oz was used for the Ore Reserve estimate.
It is intended to develop the Pridolinny, Gora 5, Zhelanny and Pravoberezhny areas by four open pits. The current report uses the optimal total production capacity of 1.1 Mtpa. The strategic schedule is optimised by maximum NPV, taking into account the mining conditions. The proposed Life of Mine (LOM) is nine (9) years. The truck and shovel mining method is employed with the total amount of overburden estimated to be 94.2 Mt and delivered to four dumps located outside the pit walls. The LOM stripping ratio is 3.7 m3/t.
Processing
Studies of the ore material composition indicated that it is advisable to use a single processing flowsheet for the ores from four different areas.
The processing flowsheet involves primary crushing, SAG mill grinding, gravity processing with the gravity concentrate and tailings leached separately, carbon adsorption and desorption and smelting of the cathode product.
The saleable product of the processing plant is Dore bars. The overall gold recovery is estimated to be at 91.5%. In total, 18.04 t of gold in Dore bars will be produced over the life of the mine.
The saleable product output schedule is based on the designed flowsheet as shown in Table 3.
