Excalibur Resources Ltd. is pleased to provide an update on the progress towards production in its 49% subsidiary, Minera Catanava S.A. de C.V. The land use environmental permit received in November 2011 allowed the construction and installation of the plant. The ball mill, jaw and cone crushers and ore bins were installed in December. The conveyors, belts and motors were delivered, installed and tested in January-March and all are operational.

The material is being tested by increasing the size of the batches in order to optimize the flow, the grind and the gold recoveries. Various adjustments have been made including installing feeders for the wave tables and a holding tank.
