EMPEROR ANNOUNCES TOLUKUMA MINE IMPACTED BY POWER GENERATION FAULT
Emperor Mines Limited (ASX: EMP) ("Emperor") announced today that production
at the Tolukuma Gold Mine in Papua New Guinea was likely to be negatively
impacted by a transformer failure in part of the hydro-power generation plant
at the mine.
Management said that the mine was currently operating on 50% power, after a
fault was detected in the generation plant, and would remain so for
approximately one week, largely due to the time required for replacement parts
to be sent from Western Australia.
Mine management said that milling and other energy intensive activities at the
mine had been temporarily halted while repairs were made, however other mining
activities are continuing.
