A further 3 haulage trucks, 1 shovel and a further blast drill rig will arrive in September to further increase production to up to 14,000 metric tonnes of ore per day.

The strip ratio for the quarter averaged 4.5 to 1. The 2010 annual average strip ratio is projected at 4.0 to 1. The current life of mine strip ratio is currently projected at 3.0 to 1.

Average head grade for the quarter was 0.718 g/t which is in line with expectations.

Metallurgical recoveries are on target to achieve a rate of over 70%.

There were no accidents which resulted in lost time during the quarter.
