Ann: Quarterly Activities Report, page-10

Explanation in the report.
"Gold production at Syama was lower than previous quarters primarily due to lower head grade from the ore stockpiles processed. Overall recoveries were also affected by lower flotation recoveries from the A21 satellite pit sulphide ore stockpiles. Reduced sulphide mining from satellite open pits increased the ore stockpile drawdown and negatively affected All-In Sustaining Costs during the quarter. Quarterly cash costs were also affected by increased royalties arising from the high level of bullion sales during the quarter of gold produced in previous quarters."
