04:00 PM EST - Capstone Mining Corp. : today reported that operating activities at its Cozamin Mine recommenced on a limited scale on the morning of Friday December 3. Production levels are expected to ramp up to Cozamin's nominal design capacity of 3,000tpd over the next week to 10 days, extracting ore from areas outside of the Avoca stopes. Limited mining in the Avoca stopes will resume in January and is expected to return to full capacity in February 2011, after the completion of measures to ensure the stability of the zone and the safety of our employees. The addition of production from the Avoca stopes should allow production at Cozamin to be sustained at design capacity, as has been the situation for extended periods in 2010. Capstone Mining Corp.
