Glencairn Places First Ore on Leach Pads at Bellavista Mine

Glencairn Gold Corporation is pleased to announce that commissioning of its Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica is progressing on schedule with approximately 12,000 tonnes of ore currently placed on leach pads in preparation for gold recovery.

As previously announced, Glencairn expects to begin producing gold at Bellavista in the second quarter of 2005 with commercial production to begin in the third quarter. Bellavista is expected to produce an average of 60,000 ounces gold per year over eight years based on current reserves.

“This is an important milestone of Glencairn’s growth towards mid-tier producer status,” said Kerry Knoll, President and CEO. “Bellavista will push our gold production past the 100,000 ounces per year mark, lower our costs per ounce and demonstrate our ability to grow through new mine development.”

Ore is being placed on the leach pads at a rate of 4,000 tonnes per day during the commissioning phase. A total of approximately 53,000 tonnes of ore at grades equal to or higher than expected from the mine’s feasibility study have been mined to date. As of April 18th, 41,000 tonnes of ore have been stockpiled and approximately 608,000 tonnes of waste material mined. In addition, approximately 27,000 tonnes of ore have been prepared in the pit and are ready to be stockpiled. All conveyor systems, crushers, agglomerators and ore stackers are operating as designed.

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Gary Biles, P.Eng., as General Manager for the Bellavista Mine. Mr. Biles is a Professional Engineer with more than 30 years experience in mining. He managed several mines during this time, including seven years as General Manager of the Eskay Creek gold mine in British Columbia, two years as General Manager of Claude Resources’ Seabee Mine and five years as General Manager of Corona Corporation’s Jolu Gold Mine.
