Roger,

All Kemess output was credited toward Kemess capital costs and therefore
is not part of the production listed in the quarterly statement. If
you look at the total quarterly report you can get a pretty good
approximation of the 3 month Kemess totals which appear to be
impressive considering the mine is still ramping up to achieve full
capacity. Kemess looks impressive with a renegotiated interest rate and
term on their debt. A higher gold price would also help but the debt is
the key.

John
