Currently running at ~225 tonnes/day (mill capacity has design of 450t/day)-so ~50% design capacity

Expected to reach design rate of 450t/day in ~3 months (soft target)

~80 people working at mine

2 8-hour shifts/day, expected to expand to 12-hour shifts in future

average grades above LOM grades but numbers skewed for first quarter...need more data

Projecting 3000 oz/month once mill hits full design (~3 months as noted above)

Once mine is at design target rate, then will commence underground drilling with company-owned drill (on site now)

TOTAL (Includes CAPEX +OPEX +?) Cash cost estimates still likely $624/oz (as per feasability study)

Plant should be easy to expand to greater than design rate of 450t/day

Corporate "Organic" growth strategy (to commence once at full design) is to have a second similar sized operation within another 3 years

Cheers,

Luker
