Tim Bergen, CEO of the company, said:

Although our production slowed down towards the end of the third quarter as a result of contractor equipment failure and the transition of mine operations to RAC, our August production has demonstrated to us that the mine can operate at our target production levels. Once transition of mine operations has been completed, we anticipate that production growth will resume in 2011.
