Concentrate milled from the 4755 level will be shipped commencing December 20th with monthly shipments to be continued.

The concentrate from the material will be shipped to smelter subject to an agreed upon schedule.
The Company will continue its vigorous regional exploration program with emphasis being placed on locating and recovering zinc zones previously ignored due to low prices or penalties being assessed.

Custom Milling
KS has been asked to custom mill material from a mine located within 100 miles of the Sandon mill. This milling will take place as soon as all ministry requirements have been met.
