Miramar Mining has successfully re-started the autoclave at the Con mine as part of its ongoing reclamation activity at the mine in Yellowknife, Canada.

The company is in the process of reclaiming the mine. Over the next two years the Company expects to spend $6 million on Con Mine reclamation costs from working capital. Subsequent costs may be funded using the proceeds in the Con Mine trusts (totalling $10.5) if release criteria are agreed to with regulatory authorities. In 2004, the company determined that gold production was no longer economically viable at its Con mine and terminated all mining activities.During the first six months of 2005, the company commenced reclamation activities at the Con Mine.(Aug/05).

Miramar Mining has reported a net loss of CAD5.7 million or 4 cents per share on revenue of CAD11.9 million for the third quarter, compared with net earnings of CAD1.2 million or 1 cent per share on revenue of CAD15.1 million for the third quarter of 2002. Cash flow provided from operations for the quarter was negative CAD4.3 million compared with CAD6.3 million for the corresponding period of 2002. During the quarter, the Con Mine delivered 60,843 tons grading 0.261 ounces of gold per ton, and the Giant Mine delivered 16,527 tons grading 0.385 ounces of gold per ton for processing at the Con mill. Combined, Miramar's Yellowknife operations shipped 20,773 ounces of gold at a cash cost of USD406 per ounce compared with 31,250 ounces at cash costs of USD233 per ounce in the same period in 2002.

August 28, 2003

Vancouver-based Miramar Mining has posted a net loss of CAD7.4 million, or 6 cents a share, on revenue of CAD9.8 million for the second quarter, compared with earnings of CAD2.4 million, or 3 cents a share, on revenue of CAD12.6 million for the corresponding 2002 quarter. Second quarter 2003 results included the write down of Con Mine assets of CAD7.3 million and a charge to reclamation expenses of CAD0.5 million to reflect a revised mine plan. Also included in the second quarter is a gain of CAD5.6 million of tax benefits recognized as a result of a reduction in future income tax liability. Weaker results were attributed to operating losses stemming from reserve failures at the Con Mine in Yellowknife, which will terminate underground mining operations. During the quarter, Miramar's Yellowknife operations produced 18,524 ounces of gold at a cash cost of USD445 per ounce versus 25,791 ounces at cash costs of USD197 per ounce in the same period in 2002. Weaker production was attributed to shortfalls in both mined grade and tonnage at the Con Mine as well as the collapse of the roof of the oxygen plant, a temporary shut down of the mill in May 2003, and a strengthening Canadian dollar against the US dollar. In the quarter, Miramar realized an average selling price of CAD446 per ounce of gold, compared with CAD481 achieved in the same period in 2002. As a result of the changes to the Yellowknife operations, Miramar anticipates gold production of 80,000 - 90,000 ounces for 2003, 35,000 - 40,000 ounces in 2004 and 20,000 - 25,000 ounces in 2005. Total cash costs for these periods are expected to average approximately USD350 per ounce based on current exchange rates.

Bluefish is a 7.0 mega Volt-Ampere hydroelectric power generating facility, located 25 miles northwest of Yellowknife, which supplies power to the Con Mine.

The cash proceeds will be placed into a reclamation security trust to fund the reclamation of the Con Mine site upon completion of mining operations, which are currently forecast to end in early 2005.
