London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2010 -- DAO Mining Corporation’s Mongolian mine at Gutain Davaa - Recent exploration at the site has identified 2 new gold bearing vein zones which returned gold grades.

Reporting on the recent discovery, “DAO Mining Corporation” believes this year is all about positioning the company for future growth. The Gutain Davaa located 270km from Ulaanbaatar has reached full throughput in the last month. Underground development is now accelerating with the delivery of the new jumbo and loaders during this quarter.

A spokesman at “DAO Mining” recently commented ‘We remain on schedule to introduce the high grade underground ore into the blend which will see the site reach its target output of 50,000 ounces per annum by the end of the calendar year’.

DAO Mining Corporation also remains on track to complete the iron ore resource statement and pre-feasibility study during the next quarter. DAO Mining Corporation continue to push forward on permitting and market off-take agreements with the aim of being able to put an investment recommendation to the Board before the end of the year.

Previous exploration, including broad spaced RAB drilling, conducted in the northern parts of E39/1110, this identified at two gold-in-regolith anomalies (>100ppb Au in RAB) that require further work.

These areas have near-surface regolith amenable to auger soil sampling and consequently detailed, 100x50m spaced sampling will be planned in due course. It is envisaged that auger soil sampling will provide quick and cost effective screening of this prospective area.
