We're probably all aware to some extent of the problems in mining these sorts of deposits with most of the gold hosted in dykes, and production can rise and fall quite dramatically at times. What I'm hoping to see is a progressive increase in production over time, irrespective of any temporary setbacks.

However, my main interest is in what lies ahead in the drilling around Maldon, and I'm hoping to see some very high grades which will be cheaper and easier to mine and transport to the nearby mill.

If there had been any major problems at A1, I think that they would have made an announcement, so I'm taking silence as a plus rather than a negative.
