Casablanca Mining Provides Production Report at Las Dichas Gold Property

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CASABLANCA MINING ("the Company"), listed on the OTCQX under the symbol "CUAU," announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Santa Teresa Minerals, S.A., has provided the Company with results of its test mining at the Las Dichas gold property in Chile.

The Las Dichas property is a joint venture partnership between the Company and the mineral landowner. Gold production from Las Dichas is split equally (50/50) from the onsite alluvial process. The Company has deployed its mobile processing unit to the Las Dichas property, which is an efficient and expeditious method to wash alluvial gold deposits. In areas with high concentrations of alluvial gold, the Company can deploy its mobile processing unit to immediately take advantage of accessible ore deposits with no entry costs and a 50% allocation of produced gold.

Management is reviewing the initial months of production and will determine if it will keep its mobile processing at Las Dichas or relocate to a more profitable area. The Company's operating model is an attractive alternative for smaller mines with alluvial deposits, and as a result, Casablanca has many options to deploy its asset in various mining regions around Chile.

"We are reviewing the results of our production in September and October to determine if we would consider leaving our mobile unit at the Las Dichas property or moving it to a more profitable area for the Company," said Juan Carlos Camus, CEO of Casablanca Mining. As previously mentioned, the Company has many alternative locations where it could deploy its processing unit.
