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.
