Completed the Assay Program at the Marigold mine with results consistent with our 2015 results that contribute to a longer dated production and cost outlook for the Marigold mine later in the third quarter. Š

In addition, we are focused on driving exploration efforts at the Valmy property to add to and convert Mineral Resources. We also look forward to providing a revised outlook for the Marigold mine in the third quarter, based on our Assay Program, operational improvements and exploration results.”
