Ann: COMPANY UPDATE - MANAGEMENT Q&A, page-9

Once our Hammer Mill 3 is running to Richard’s high standards, he will introduce a second shift that will
focus on processing the tailings each day. This will provide an excellent blending material for our high
grade underground feed. When our Hammer Mill 4 is scheduled to hit its strides in late April, I would like
to think that we could lift daily throughput above our 500 tonnes per day medium-term target by blending
both feeds.

I would say the delay in the hammer mill 3 results is due to Richards fine tuning.
