Rick Howes, president and CEO of Dundee, commented:

All operations remain on track to meet 2015 guidance. DPM remains below average with respect to all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold as we benefit from a strong U.S. dollar and a number of productivity and cost saving initiatives. Looking forward, we will continue to focus on optimizing operational performance, reducing costs at each of our operations, and securing the remaining permits for the Krumovgrad Gold Project.
