Way Linggo is an amazing project. It is a small high grade producing gold mine mine generating a healthy cashflow. We are now in a position to expand the existing mine as well as aggressively explore to unleash the vast potential in the rest of the CoW."

"With the de-bottlenecking of the processing plant and the imminent installation of the SAG mill, our immediate focus will be on developing additional mining sources to increase production. We are only in the very early stages of a large exploration program, yet we are already seeing positive signs in our early exploration as shown in the recent results from the Talang prospects. This bodes well for the future and I am happy to be a part of it."

Mr. Morris, who has been Chairman of the Company since 2007 will now step down as Executive Chairman but will remain as Non-Executive Chairman.
