CONTINUOUS MINER MACHINE RECOVERED                                              
Shareholders are referred to the company`s announcement on 20th July            
2011.  The continuous miner machine was recovered on Friday 22nd July           
2011. It was significantly damaged and will not be able to recommence           
mining activities until major repairs have been completed. A replacement        
continuous miner machine has since been commissioned and production from        
the underground operations recommenced on Wednesday 27th July 2011.             
The estimated loss of production is not material because mining in the          
area was nearing completion and production had reduced significantly at         
the time of the incident. Production lost during this period will be made       
up with the introduction of the replacement machine.
