We will carry out an optimisation programme aimed at cost reduction, enhancing the process plant recoveries and delivering consistent quarterly performance. This will maximise cash flows for the development of the underground operations.

At Sekisovskoye, we have mineable ore reserves [JORC] which total 4.68Mt at 2.57 g/t Au [Annual Report 2009], and an overall Indicated geological resource [JORC] of 12.92Mt at 2.1 g/t Au [Annual Report 2009].
