During the reporting period the Company generated operating cash flow of Cdn
$220,000 and a net loss of Cdn $1.0 million. This loss represents the first net
loss for the Company since declaring commercial production at Bjorkdal. The loss
is primarily related to lower revenues as a result of lower than anticipated
grades in the open pit and underground; increased costs; and to a lesser degree,
lower recoveries in the plant related to a motor failure. Management has taken
corrective measures to prevent this from reoccurring in the future.
Management is working closely with the operating team at Bjorkdal to smooth out
the grade variation through ore production scheduling and development planning
to ensure access to higher grade zones of the orebody. As a direct result, gold
production in September reached a record monthly level of 3,682 ounces. The
recent addition of a new mine manager has also greatly improved mine planning
and scheduling, which is a component of the optimization effort at the
operation.
