Perth, Aug 10, 2010 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The Board and management of Kingsrose Mining Limited (ASX:KRM) and its 85% owned operating subsidiary, PT Natarang Mining, are pleased to report that the commissioning of the process plant at the Way Linggo Gold/Silver Project is proceeding well and near completion.
