New Dawn mine strike has ended

New Dawn announced that the previously reported illegal and unprotected work stoppage by a portion of its underground work force at its Turk and Angelus Mine has ended and full mining operations have resumed.

The company says the short nature of the work stoppage, and management's ability to resolve the situation in a timely and efficient manner, resulted in minimal impact to gold production.

New Dawn has five mines that are currently operational and producing gold in Zimbabwe, and is currently expanding production to reach a targeted run rate of approximately 60,000 ounces of annualized gold production by December 2012.
