TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/14/13 -- Caledonia Mining Corporation ("Caledonia") (TSX:CAL)(OTCQX:CALVF)(AIM:CMCL) is pleased to announce gold production from the Blanket Mine in Zimbabwe ("Blanket") during the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2012 (the "Quarter") and for the 2012 calendar year.
-- 11,980oz of gold were produced during the Quarter, a 14% increase on
gold production in Q4 2011 (10,533oz) and a 7% decrease on Blanket's
record quarterly gold production in Q3 2012 (12,919oz).
-- Total gold production for the 12 months to December 31, 2012 was
45,623oz, a 27% increase over the gold production in the 12 months to
December 31 2011 (35,826oz).
Commenting on the Q4 2012 production, Caledonia's President and Chief Executive Officer, Stefan Hayden said: "As anticipated and as previously advised, gold production in Q4 was lower than in Q3 as the achieved grade returned towards the long term average of 3.84g/t. The production of 11,980oz achieved in Q4 is an excellent performance by Blanket and is 16.5% higher than the targeted production of 10,000 oz/quarter. Production for the whole of 2012 of over 45,600oz is a new annual production record for Blanket and reflects the outstanding performance of Blanket's management and staff during the year with its multitude of challenges."
