Manica Alluvial Update
The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a further update on the Manica alluvial mining contractors' progress towards operations commencing on the Manica concession. 
Highlights
Omnia Mining have deposited approximately 25,000 tonnes of alluvial materials on the plant stockpile ready for processing
Omnia Mining have pre-stripped a considerable amount of overburden in advance of the alluvial face
Process Plant is in position and all items have been run and tested. A single water pipeline remains to be installed
Sino Minerals have exposed a considerable amount of alluvial materials prior to their extraction
Sino Minerals are approaching their commitment by the installation of three smaller plants. All of these plants are on site and will be assembled over the coming weeks 
 Some revenue expected for September 2017, with rapid build-up from both contractors during October 2017
Colin Bird, Chairman said: "I am pleased to be able to report that both contractors are aggressively pursuing their production goals. September 2017 should see Omnia Mining in production with Sino Minerals commencing production mid-October 2017. Unlike a hard rock operation, an alluvial operation demands less complex start up procedures and I am hopeful for steady state production by the end of October 2017.
During the recent weeks a number of new initiatives have been initiated and are actively being pursued. The thrust of these initiatives is area consolidation, accelerated hard rock production and re-evaluation of existing exploration sites."
