(*) Assuming a 52:1 silver:gold equivalency ratio

Overall equivalent gold production was lower at 9,100 ounces, compared with the prior year's six-month average of 14,100 ounces due to lower ore grades. In the current quarter, however, ore grades have improved to 2.73 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 24 g/t silver over the prior quarter amounts of 2.17 g/t and 24 g/t, respectively, as the company was able to fully exploit orebodies 29 to 31, which contain higher ore grades.

The company expects to maintain or increase the current ore grades over the next quarter and continues exploration efforts to increase reserves of resources and to find higher-grade deposits. Management also continues efforts to cut mine and administration costs, where possible, to improve earnings and cash flow.
