the problem at paracatu has already been well documented. here are a couple of properties that we were supposed to hear about in the summer...and then the fall...but i'm sure they'll make some progress real soon now:

Fruta del Norte

During the third quarter the Company continued work at its Fruta del Norte project. Fieldwork at the site consisted of environmental baseline studies, activation of water treatment systems, reconstruction of a key bridge on the access road,
health and safety training, and education programs for the workforce. The land acquisition program continued to advance, while engineering and metallurgical studies also moved ahead.

The Company is continuing to work with the Ministry of Non-Renewable Natural Resources to obtain final authorization to recommence its infill drilling campaign. The Ministry has advised mining companies that the regulations to the new Ecuadorian
Mining Law are scheduled to be issued in early November 2009. It is anticipated that the release of the regulations will facilitate the restart of large scale mining activity in the country.

Cerro Casale

The Company is now in the process of reviewing and optimizing the draft feasibility study on Cerro Casale with Barrick Gold and the technical committee that oversaw the work. The Company expects to release details of the study and file a technical
report in the first quarter of 2010, including overall project economics, assumptions, and recommendations. Based on configuration updates currently under review, capital expenditures may be slightly higher than previously indicated and operating expenses slightly lower. However, continued optimization of the project could result in different dynamics. In parallel, permitting and engineering development work is continuing, and the Company expects to spend approximately $50 million in
2010 to support advancing the project.
