Notes to editors
The Company completed the Feasibility Study on Gedabek in June, which showed the
development of the property to be economically viable. The study identifies a
mining reserve of 7.7 million tonnes of ore at grades of 1.80 grams per tonne
('g/t') gold, 15.9 g/t silver and 0.29% copper. Gold, silver and copper
production over the mine life has been conservatively estimated to be 311,154 oz
of gold, 1,959,109 oz of silver and 17,424,960 lbs of copper respectively. Under
the JORC code the mining reserve is in the 'probable' mineral reserve category.
Additional ore is expected to be found from the inferred ore within the current
pit boundaries, extensions of the mineralisation already identified outside the
pit and from old mine stockpiles produced from previous underground mining of
the Gedabek deposit.
