    Comment:

    The good progress made in July was interrupted in August as commissioning of the new tailings dam was delayed and other changes were
made to the process plant, resulting in shut downs of the mills for a total of two weeks. The result for August was therefore disappointing
but creditable in the circumstances. September confirmed the improvements which we are making, and the milling circuit in particular is now
operating well. The mills have been tested for an extended period at some 10% higher than the planned capacity and will be operated at this
rate continuously once the new cone crusher is commissioned in November.

    The grades mined during the quarter were lower than the average expected over the life of the open pit but higher grade areas are
scheduled to be accessed during the current quarter. As already mentioned in our interim results, the metallurgical recovery has been lower
than the 92% indicated by test-work. Various causes have been identified and improvements have already been made which will impact on the
current quarter.
