Farallon reached an important milestone on April 1, achieving

commercial production at the G-9 Mine. The mine is now operating at

the full design production capacity of 1,500 tonnes per day.

President and CEO Dick Whittington said, “In a time of market

turmoil, it is a great achievement by management and staff to be

able to focus on the task at hand and reach our goal. Our next step

is to improve the efficiencies at the operation, as it is critical that

we perform on an optimal operational level through the next few

months. We are confident that the G-9 Mine can be sustained though

this difficult metal price environment, and enable the Company to

prosper when metal prices inevitably recover down the road.”

The G-9 Mine progressed through a successful commissioning phase

in late 2008 and increased production during the months of January

and February 2009, and sustaining full production capacity of 1,500

tonnes per day in early March.
