David Fowler, CEO commented: “Production for the quarter was 16,573 ounces of gold at a total cash cost of $US 521 per ounce. The significant improvement in cash cost is beyond the Company’s expectations and as a result, the Company is reducing its total cash cost target for the year from $US 825 to $US 750 per ounce. The reduction in unit costs has been a consequence of several factors, mainly mining higher grade ore, cost reduction initiatives and increased silver revenues. The Company’s operations generated a contribution margin for the quarter of $US 12,3 million, which is almost as much as what was generated in the previous six months. We exit the quarter with cash on hand of $US 15.3 million.”
“We have also been making good progress in Arenal Deeps, positioning the Company financially and operationally to make a success of this project with the contractor mobilized, permits granted, first portal blast in March and a line of credit of $US 5.5 million obtained from HSBC Bank.”
“The second half of the Sobresaliente drill campaign has returned positive results including:
- 5 meters at 15.37 g/t Au from surface in hole SSDD021 and
- 5 meters at 15.57 g/t Au from 71 meters in hole SSRC058.
Step out drilling has expanded mineralization down dip and along strike and infill drilling has confirmed the continuity of higher grade results between sections. An updated NI 43-101 resource for Sobresaliente is expected to be calculated by August 2011.”

Production and costs
Production, at 16,573 ounces of gold, was above expectations as higher grade ore was mined from Veta Sur and Zapucay.
Total cash costs per ounce (including royalties and other taxes) of gold for the quarter were $US 521 compared to $US 984 for same quarter of last year. The significant decrease is due to cost reductions undertaken since 2009, mining higher grade ore, and increased silver revenue. This is a significant achievement in light of the appreciation of the Uruguayan peso against the dollar, local inflation at 7% in the past year, proposed royalty increase and higher fuel prices.
For the nine months, production totalled 42,086 ounces at a total cash costs of $US 699 (2010 - 39,495 ounces at a total cash costs of $US 910). Production for the full fiscal year is expected to be 55,000 ounces as announced previously. The cash cost forecast has been reduced from $US 825 to $US 750 per ounce for the full fiscal year.
Financial Performance
Total sales for the quarter were $US 21.6 million compared to $US 13.2 million for the corresponding period of the previous year. The average gold price for the quarter increased to $US 1,368 per ounce from $US 1,110 in the third quarter of the previous year. For the quarter, after-tax profit increased to $US 6.3 million compared to a loss of $US 2.9 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. The results for the current quarter include a write down of exploration expenditure of $US 2.5 million before income tax. Net profit after tax for the 9 months to 28 February 2011 was $US 12.5 million.
Cash flow from operations includes the result from the San Gregorio operation less the cost of general and administrative expenses, interest and income taxes. During the quarter, cash flow generated from operations before working capital movements was $US 9.2 million compared to $US 0.1 million used in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
For the nine month period ended February 28, 2011, cash flow from operations before working capital movements was $US 19.6 million compared to $US 1.7 million for the corresponding period of the prior year.
Exploration and development expenditure for the quarter was $US 2.9 million compared to $US 2.2 million for the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Exploration and development expenditure for the nine month period amounted to $US 7.0 million compared to $US 5.6 million in the corresponding period of the prior financial year. Purchase of property plant and equipment was $US 5.1 million for the quarter and $US 7.7 million year to date with $US 5.2 million spent on the Arenal Deeps project.
The Company’s cash position at the end of the quarter was $US 15.3 million, increasing by $US 1.4 million since November 30, 2010.
On March 16, 2011 the Company announced that it had entered into a credit facility with HSBC. The facility is for $US 5.5 million to fund the purchase of equipment for Arenal Deeps, and was signed on the following terms:
- Security over new mobile equipment purchased for Arenal Deeps.
- Interest rate of LIBOR + 3.25%.
- Scheduled duration of 3 years.
Arenal Deeps
On December 21, 2010, the Company announced the approval of the Arenal Deeps project by its Board of Directors and the execution of a Letter of Intent with Redpath Chilena Construcciones y Compañía Limitada ("Redpath"), a member of the Redpath Group of companies, for the mining development contract.
During the quarter Redpath mobilized its team and the Company purchased and commissioned the main equipment necessary to commence development. As announced on March 18, 2011 environmental and mining permits, necessary to commence development were granted and development commenced. Since commencing development productivity and ground conditions have been as expected and good progress has been made with in excess of 50 meters advancement on the main access decline.
A permit was also granted to allow the Company to commence construction of its second tailings storage facility, which is adjacent to and an extension of the existing facility and will have a total nominal capacity of approximately 8 million tonnes of tailings. Final permits will be required before the end of 2011 to enable the new facility to commence operations.
Exploration and Development
Sobresaliente
The Sobresaliente project is located 5 km North of the San Gregorio Operation and comprises four discrete orebodies: North, Central, South and East. The mineralization appears to be located at the intersection of two regional structural trends where deformation has produced intense cataclasis and brecciation. Wide zones in excess of 100 meters of veined / stock work granitoids are present and the overall mineralized trend is nearly 1.2 km long.
A combined RC-DD drilling programme was completed during the quarter to infill known mineralization, test for along-strike extensions of the known ore bodies, test for the possibility of a bulk tonnage-low grade operation, improve the category of the resource and locally check the geologic and structural model. A total of 8,955 meters (60 holes for a total of 6,140 meters of reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling in 24 holes for a total of 2,815 meters of diamond drilling (“DD”) has been drilled.
The best results from this drill campaign are reported in the following tables

Notes
Weighted intercept grades were calculated using an external cutoff of 0.4g/t Au and up to 2 meters of internal dilution is reported. Samples were processed using OMI's in house laboratory using fire assay with atomic absorption finish. For quality control purposes 5% of samples are re-analyzed at external laboratories.
Gold results have been completely reported for all reverse circulation and diamond drill holes. Significant additional mineralization has been intercepted both down dip and along strike. Infill drilling has also confirmed the continuity of higher grade mineralization between sections.
During March a trial parcel of approximately 50,000 tonnes of Sobresaliente ore was processed through the San Gregorio plant. Recoveries at 90% on this material were better than expected. Previous resource estimates were calculated assuming an 80% recovery.
Information is being compiled to allow an independent NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate to be made. This estimate is expected to be complete by August 2011.
Pantanillo (Chile)
During the quarter the company commenced a 5,000 meter drill programme with approximately 30 drill holes planned to be completed by the end of April 2011. The programme is designed to test a number of near surface oxide targets and complete additional infill drilling of sulfide targets at depth on Pantanillo Norte. The targets to be tested include
- Pantanillo Sur silver breccia
- High sulfidation oxide vein targets around Pantanillo Norte
- Strike extension of Pantanillo Norte to North West
- Deeper sulphide mineralisation at Pantanillo Norte
Historical trenching by Anglo American Norte S.A. at Pantanillo Sur returned Silver (Ag) intervals of 40m @ 311g/t Ag and 16m @ 693g/t Ag.
Historical shallow Diakore drilling by Anglo American Norte S.A. at Pantanillo Sur returned results including 11.0m @1545g/t Ag and 5.0m @ 2015g/t Ag. Deeper diamond drilling included 12.0m @ 31g/t Au and 13.0m @ 55g/t Ag.
During the quarter the Company completed 766 meters of reverse circulation drilling at Pantanillo Sur and assay results included:
| HOLE ID | Intercept (10 g/t Ag)10 g/t Ag) | From | |||
| PNS-11-04RC | 62 m @ 14.90 g/t | 12 m | |||
| PNS-11-09RC | 29 m @ 69.90 g/t | 0 m | |||
| PNS-11-09RC | 22 m @ 10.14 g/t | 55 m | |||
| PNS-11-10RC | 10 m @ 28.00 g/t | 51 m |
Results have been received for 6 holes drilled during the quarter to test one of two high sulfidation ledge targets in Pantanillo Norte and the best interval was 15 meters at 1.1 g/t Au from 84 meters.
Metallurgical testwork, utilizing samples obtained from this season drilling campaign, is going to be performed during the 2011 calendar year to confirm the process route. A Pre-feasibility study is planned to be commenced towards the end of calendar 2011 following the completion of metallurgical testing. In the meantime, baseline data collection continues to be undertaken to support the project environmental permitting process.
Anillo (Chile)
The Company completed a first pass drill campaign of 16 reverse circulation drill holes for a total of 2,497 meters at the Anillo project during the quarter. The drilling targeted anomalous geochemistry in rock and trench sampling combined with magnetic and VLF anomalies from geophysical surveys completed in October 2010.
Anomalous Ag and Au values (maximum 0.37 ppm for Au and 6 ppm for Ag) were intercepted over several meters in holes drilled in two different sectors located to the north and east of Yamana’s neighboring Pampa Victoria discovery. This drilling confirmed the presence of high level, low temperature epithermal mineralization at shallow depths below surface.
The Company is planning a follow-up drill campaign including several deep holes (up to 500 meters depth) drilled in fences to test for mineralized N/S oriented structures at depth. This decision is based on the knowledge that ore grade epithermal veins in the district are characteristically deep and often blind with only weak near-surface manifestations albeit with characteristic geochemical signatures.
Two new sectors (central and west) at the Anillo project are currently being mapped in detail and a high density surface geochemical survey is underway. Ground magnetic surveys and trenching are expected to be completed in mid April. The company expects to complete target generation for first pass drilling, in combination with the drilling mentioned above, during May 2011
Vaca Muerta (Uruguay)
The Company completed a 2,736 meter drill programme in December 2010 at the Vaca Muerta project located approximately 85km east (by existing roads) of the San Gregorio plant. A preliminary internal non NI 43-101 resource model has been prepared and will be used to target additional infill and extension drilling to allow the completion of an independent NI 43-101 compliant resource by August 2011.
The Company has begun initial metallurgical tests to fast track the project. Preliminary cyanidation testwork has shown that gold recoveries are expected to be at the same levels as the other San Gregorio regional ore types, ie above 90%. Cyanide consumption and grinding size to achieve such recoveries are also expected to be the same as for other San Gregorio ore types.
Additional detailed surface mapping and soil sampling began in January covering the entire Vaca Muerta property. Special attention is being given to strike extensions to the NW and SE of the Vaca Muerta deposit as well as to the north and south where several reconnaissance geochemical anomalies are known.
Additional drilling planned for June, 2011 will include definition drilling at Vaca Muerta as well as testing of new geochemical targets that are expected to be generated.
Other Projects (Uruguay)
The Company continues exploration on several other properties located in southern Uruguay. The Company will start a 1,500 meter infill drill campaign at Crucera in April 2011 and complete a measured and indicated NI 43-101 resource estimate on this deposit by the end of fiscal 2011. First pass exploration drilling has also been planned for the Rocha and Texas projects in southern Uruguay. Some 2,000-2,500 meters has been dedicated to each project and drilling will begin in May 2011.
