Improved Plant Efficiency During Q1, management of Sallies focused on improving plant efficiency and mine development at Witkop. Plant recoveries on average of 86% were achieved, significantly above historical performance, reflecting the continued efforts of management to improve the operation of the plant since the Witkop Mine restart in March 2011. Several additional plant improvements will be made during the annual maintenance and shutdown period over the December holiday period. The focus at Witkop on mine development will continue through to Q3, including the removal of overburden to two new pits and ore infill drilling to facilitate mine planning. Production rates are anticipated to steadily increase to nameplate capacity during the fiscal year as the new pits are brought on stream.
