Paradine Mill Facility Nearing Completion

WINNIPEG, MB  - Winston Gold Corp. reported that the necessary upgrades to the Paradine Mill Facility, near Radersburg, Montana, are nearing completion, despite staffing, material acquisition and delivery challenges. Winston Gold continues to move forward with the goal of transforming the Paradine mill into reliable and efficient operation and repairs are expected to be completed by months end.

"Naturally, with any re-commissioning activity, unforeseen challenges inevitably arise," said, Murray Nye, CEO and Director. "I must commend our staff at the Paradine Mill facility for their perseverance and dedication during this period. The overall advantages of renovating an old mill still significantly outweigh building and permitting a new one."

Work at the mill is now focused on installing critical new parts (delayed due to shipping issues), in addition to re-configuring and optimizing the floatation circuits. The following points summarize the progress achieved to date: Flotation room and circuit re-configured; Tailings line and pump re-routed; Pinion bearing on ball mill replaced and being installed; Pressure switch for Knelson concentrator received and installed; Ball mill lube pump installed; Improved illumination installed; and Weir bars and sand gates on scavenger cells installed.

The Paradine mill located just 35 miles (56 km) by paved road from the Company's wholly owned Winston Gold project which is situated near Helena, Montana. The Mill has a nameplate capacity of 150 tons per day and hosts a ball milling circuit as well as both a gravity and flotation circuit. A new lined settling pond has been constructed for tailings disposal with a 35,000-ton capacity and two additional ponds are also being built.
