    quarter. As a result, overall metal production was lower than the first
    quarter at 6,000 equivalent ounces ("EqOz"), compared to 6,900 EqOz in
    the previous quarter when we achieved a record quarter of production as
    previously announced, however, the mine exceeded budgeted metal
    production targets for the quarter;
--  Mine operating cash costs increased to US$718/EqOz compared to
    US$628/EqOz in the previous quarter due mainly to the record production
    in the previous quarter. All-in Sustaining Costs, which includes
    sustaining capital expenditures, exploration, reclamation, corporate and
    administrative and share-based compensation cost were US$1,020/EqOz.
