"Looking ahead to 2012, we are focussed on increasing the company's total resource base, which based on data available at June 2010 stood at 791,000 oz of gold, 49,300 tonnes of copper and 7,597,000 oz of silver for all categories, by Q1 2012 and in turn to calculate a JORC compliant reserve estimate thereafter."
