Erdene Releases 2022 Shareholder Letter

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, June 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Erdene Resource Development Corporation (TSX:ERD | MSE:ERDN) (“Erdene” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide its 2022 Letter to Shareholders authored by President and CEO, Peter Akerley. To read the letter please visit Letter to Shareholders.

“Over the past year, we executed upon our mission of developing the Khundii Gold District for the benefit of all stakeholders,” said Peter Akerley, Erdene’s President and CEO. “As outlined in my letter to fellow shareholders, recent high-grade gold discoveries at Ulaan and Dark Horse position Erdene to achieve its two million ounce gold equivalent resource target later this year, with the potential to add significant resources beyond this target.”

“We also made solid progress preparing our Bayan Khundii Gold Project for construction, despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic,” continued Mr. Akerley. “The Project is now almost fully permitted with site establishment works underway. As we move into the latter part of 2022, we anticipate the logistical challenges at the China-Mongolia border will begin to abate and cost pressures resulting from global inflation should begin to stabilize with cost reductions forecast for key construction materials, positioning us for full construction.”
