1. Gold sales were 60% higher in September compared with August at 1,141 ounces.
2. Gold production was approximately 6% lower in September compared to the previous month mainly due to lower throughput as a result of downtime mostly due to crusher down time.
3. Plant throughput decreased by 29% in September mainly due to maintenance and repairs required to the impact crusher.
4. No ore tonnes were mined in September due to adequate ore stockpiles on the ROM pad. The next campaign mining of ore is planned for late October.
