For the half year, Caledonia's revenue was $4.86 million on sales of 7,274 ounces of gold and a net loss, after tax before discontinued operations, of $3.5 million or $0.008 per fully diluted share. Cash available at the quarter end totaled $2.1 million. During the quarter, two sets of warrants of 22,890,000 and 6,998,259 warrants were exercised at a price of $0.15 per share for proceeds, net of commission, of $4,380,233. These funds will be used for general working capital and the funding of exploration activities at Nama. Gold production for the quarter was 2,672 ounces and 6,337 ounces for the half year. Production was affected by the planned shut down of No.4 shaft for refurbishment, which is part of the planned expansion, and the lower than anticipated grades from underground. Commenting on the results, Stefan Hayden, President and CEO, said 'I am pleased to report that the Blanket mine continued operations throughout the quarter, despite the tough operating conditions in Zimbabwe, the cashflow issues faced by other gold producers and the planned expansion. Production of 2,672 ounces of gold was below the plan due to the lower than anticipated grades from underground, however the metallurgical plant and the Sands plant performed well. Underground production has since resumed and we are targeting a return to 600 tonnes a day, depending on the reliability of power supply. Operating conditions continue to remain challenging in Zimbabwe, however if the situation does not deteriorate further, we anticipate completing the shaft expansion by the end of the fourth quarter and making-up a portion of the reduced second quarter production during the second half of the year. The drilling program at Nama continues, with drill cores currently being assayed. These results will be evaluated during the third quarter and we anticipate announcing further NI43-101 results by the fourth quarter. Metallurgical testwork on product specification for a cobalt hydroxide is nearly complete and we hope to announce these results before year-end as well. Unfortunately we do not have any concrete updates on the sale negotiations of the Barbrook and Eersteling mines, however we do continue to negotiate with a number of interested parties. Clearly this sale process is taking a long time and we are aiming to conclude a transaction by the end of the third quarter.' Certain statements included herein are 'forward-looking statements'.
