AIM - News) reports: According to the assessment of Chief Geologist Reggie Selvano, he estimated an initial resource from this small scale operation of 100,000 metric tons of gold ore with an average grade of 16 grams/ton of gold (Au), using the 18 tons per day operation, 24 days per month at a very conservative figure of 90% Capacity with a 30% Overhead Cost per production.
PRODUCTION ANALYSIS OF INITIAL SMALL SCALE PILOT OPERATIONS:
Average Gold Assay: = 16 grams / ton = 0.51 Ounces per ton (OPT)
(Note: 31.10 grams =
1 ounce)
Estimated Plant
Equipment Efficiency
Production: (18 tpd ) (100 tpd)
--------- ---------
(use value of 90%) = 18 tons per day X .90=
16.20 TPD 90.00 TPD
0.51 OPT X 16.20 TPD = 8.26 Ounce per day (OPD) 45.90 OPD
8.26 OPD X 24 days = 198.24 Ounces per
per month month (OPM) 1101.60 OPM
Estimated Price per
Ounce = $600 per ounce
198.24 OPM X $600 = $118,944.00 / Month $660,960.00 / Month
Gross Production
Amount Per Year :
$118,944 X 12
months = $1,427,328 / Year $7,931,520.00 / Year
Net Profit After Cost = $999,129.60 / Year $5,552,064 / Year

There are stockpiles currently derived from the exposed veins which are going to be the sources of gold ores that can give the immediate good income of the company once processed and in full production in August, 2006, even from this small scale production of 18 tons per day operation.
Please note that this is a very conservative figure of just 18 tons per day capacity of the gold processing equipment to be used, with the mid average of gold reserves at 16 grams /ton, priced @ $600 per ounce. As production becomes profitable, it will be easy to exponentially expand production output, using the inexpensive methods currently being employed.
This does not include potential income from refining the gold concentrates of local miners through Pearl Asian's controlled subsidiary, Philippines Gold Mining Corp. (PGMC), as Pearl Asian Mining Industries has envisaged to operate on a full capacity of up to 100 tons per day within the next 6 months of continues production.
