During November, 3,571 ounces of gold were produced, which equates to an annualized production rate of 42,852 ounces and represents a 17% increase over the average of the previous 11 months' production.

"The improved level of gold production and near record gold price, will have a very positive impacted on our fourth quarter cash flow, " states Bob Wasylyshyn, Gold-Ore's president. "We are continually striving to improve head grade of the ore which we anticipate will result in not only increased annual gold production, but also lower operating costs."

2009 Operational Highlights

Operations during 2009 were highlighted by the following achievements:


-  Declared commercial production.
-  Completed a reserve estimate that provides for greater than 4 years mine
   life.
-  Completed an Open Pit Mine Design and commenced open pit mining in the
   Southeast Extension.
-  Developed 4,200 metres of underground workings on 4 levels.
-  Produced on average 1,300 tonnes of ore per day from underground.
-  Increased year over year gold production by 32 percent to 37,032 ounces.
-  Discontinued reliance on low grade stockpiles for plant feed.
-  Installed a 30 inch Knelson Concentrator and a new central control
   system in the plant to improve gold recovery.
-  Drilled 7,216 metres of diamond drill core in 66 holes.
-  Added key mine management personnel.

Gold production at Bjorkdal is achieved by processing ore mined from underground and open pit. In October 2009, Gold-Ore announced a reserve estimate sufficient for a 4 year mine life at current production levels. Underground drilling during 2009 successfully extended the mineralization and is anticipated to more than replace the reserves mined during the year. Plant throughput during the fourth quarter averaged 1,434 tonnes per day from the underground and 1,754 tonnes per day from the open pit. Gold-Ore is now focusing on optimising the head grade from both ore sources.
