YAMANA GOLD PROVIDES UPDATE ON 2010 EXPLORATION16:32 EST Monday, November 29, 2010TORONTO, Nov. 29 /CNW/ - YAMANA GOLD INC. (TSX:YRI; NYSE:AUY; LSE:YAU) today announced an exploration update for its Mercedes and Pilar projects, the Pampa Augusta Victoria regional discovery at its El Penon mine as well as exploration results at its Jacobina and Fazenda Brasileiro mines. The Company's Mercedes and Pilar mines are currently under construction and production will commence in 2012 and 2013, respectively, as previously announced.Summary: << Mercedes, Mexico Results: Expansion of the new Diluvio zone within the Lupita vein system and extension of the Lagunas zone, a bonanza grade area in the Barrancas vein system Significance: Results support significant increases in mineral resources and opportunity for development of multiple vein structures Opportunity: Mineral resources expansion and the availability of ore from multiple vein structures will allow the Company to evaluate opportunities for production increases above original feasibility study levels Pilar, Brazil Results: Deposit continues to be open along strike and down dip with a further down dip extension that almost doubles dip length from 450 to 850 metres. In addition, a step out hole confirms mineralization two kilometres from known mineral resource Significance: Results support significant increases in mineral resources Opportunity: Mineral resource expansion will extend mine life and allow the Company to evaluate opportunities for production increases above original feasibility study levels Fazenda Brasileiro, Brazil Results: Increase in size and confirmation of continuity of the Lagoa do Gato deposit and CLX2 deposit Significance: Results support an increase in mineral resources Opportunity: Extension of mine life at the level of at least current production requiring modest development work primarily as CLX2 is located at the footwall of existing mine workings Jacobina, Brazil Results: More extensive mineralization at Canavieras and Morro do Vento at better grades than reserve grade Significance: Higher grade mineralized zones are expected to increase overall mineral resources and mineral reserves at higher than current reserves grade Opportunity: Higher grade ore would increase production without requiring any change to plant design or increase in plant capacity Pampa Augusta Victoria, El Penon, Chile Results: Extension of Victoria and Victoria Este vein systems, discovered earlier this year, which form part of the Pampa Augusta Victoria vein structure at El Penon along with the discovery of the "Elizabeth system", a sub parallel vein structure which has been traced for 170 metres Significance: Results will support an initial mineral resource estimate in a completely new area for discovery Opportunity: Further supports a regional exploration effort at El Penon and creates the possibility for additional ore bodies within hauling distance of the El Penon mine >>"2010 has been an excellent year for exploration success at Yamana. For the full year, we will have spent over $80 million," commented Darcy Marud, Senior Vice President, Exploration. "The results highlighted here are those that we believe will have the biggest impact on the overall increases to mineral resources and mineral reserves expected this year. We have also had other successes which will contribute to future growth of mineral resources and will create numerous opportunities for production increases and expansions. Our 2011 program will again be aggressive as we continue to pursue known targets and identify new mineral resources." << Mercedes -------- >>Mercedes is Yamana's development stage project located in Sonora, Mexico. The project is currently under construction and is expected to commence production in 2012.Mercedes is a gold-silver, low-sulphidization vein/stockwork system. Mineralization at Mercedes is contained in four main target areas: Mercedes, Barrancas, Klondike and Lupita (see Figure 1). A total 40,450 metres of drilling has been completed in 141 holes in 2010. There are currently four drill rigs on site.Following the significant mineral resource increase at Mercedes in 2009, the Company has undertaken an extensive exploration program in 2010 advancing concurrently with mine construction with the following core objectives: << 1) Upgrade of mineral resources and mineral reserves in areas of known mineralization and existing ore bodies with infill drilling 2) Increase mineral resources and mineral reserves with step-out drilling around areas of known mineralization 3) Discovery of new areas of mineralization >>The Company was successful in achieving all of these objectives, primarily at the Barrancas and Lupita vein structures. Drilling efforts are detailed below.Barrancas Vein - Lagunas ZoneA total of 45 infill holes have been completed in the Lagunas zone (formerly Barrancas Norte) and the new Lagunas northwest extension area, covering a strike length of 400 metres and a vertical range of up to 250 metres (see Figure 2a). Drilling has confirmed the high grade intercepts first discovered in 2009, and expanded the dimensions of the vein zone.Infill ProgramThe drill program is expected to convert mineral resources to mineral reserves. The best results from the infill drilling include the intercepts below at a cutoff of 2.0 grams per tonne gold equivalent. << ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hole Width (metres) Gold grams/tonne Silver grams/tonne ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-547D: 15.24 12.87 59.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-556D: 1.45 57.80 178.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- And 6.02 11.01 70.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-557D: 4.88 20.58 31.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-572D: 20.3 8.74 57.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>A complete table of results to date can be found at www.yamana.com.Northwest Extension ProgramStep-out drilling on the northwest extension of Lagunas has encountered local bonanza-grade gold values in two parallel vein zones. These zones are open on strike to the northwest and at depth (see Figure 2a). These newly discovered mineralized zones are expected to add additional mineral resources. The best results include the intercepts below at a cutoff of 2.0 grams per tonne gold equivalent. << ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hole Width (metres) Gold grams/tonne Silver grams/tonne ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-581D: 1.53 128.81 280.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-584D 6.09 13.26 57.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- And 3.25 37.48 110.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>A complete table of results can be found at www.yamana.com.Barrancas Vein - Centro ZoneA total of 34 additional holes were drilled to complete 30-metre infill drilling of the Centro Zone, covering a strike length of 270 metres and vertical range up to 225 metres (see Figure 2a).Best results include the intercepts below at a cutoff of 2.0 grams per tonne gold equivalent. << ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hole Width (metres) Gold grams/tonne Silver grams/tonne ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-519D: 16.88 4.68 57.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-521D: 5.18 10.85 80.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-535D: 3.48 10.06 50.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- M10-538D: 3.79 5.68 34.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- And 4.10 7.30 60.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>A complete table of results can be found at www.yamana.com.Lupita Vein - Diluvio ZoneThe Diluvio zone is a 2010 discovery made by the Company within the Mercedes project area. As originally announced on August 4, 2010, a 13 hole widely spaced drill program completed earlier in the year intersected a broad zone of multi-stage low sulphidation carbonate-quartz-adularia veins and stockworks ranging from 10 to 150 metres in true width. This zone is approximately 600 metres northeast of the known mineral resource in the Lupita area.Drilling of the Diluvio zone in the Lupita vein has continued with eight new drill holes completed further to the northeast along strike. The goal of this additional drilling was to define the mineralized zone on a 60 x 60 metre drill grid (see Figure 2b). All holes drilled to-date continue to intersect broad zones of high and low angle multi-stage veins and stockwork hosted within lithic tuff and andesite flows. Preliminary results indicate the extension of strike length of the Diluvio zone by approximately 50 metres along strike. The zone is still open down-dip and to the northwest. Oriented core is being measured in order to determine orientations on the multitude of high and low angle vein zones that have been intersected in the Diluvio zone. This drill program will likely result in an increase to the overall mineral resources in the Lupita vein structure. Assay results have been received for the upper third of hole L10-076D, which returned 4.66 metres at 12.06 grams per tonne gold and 63.8 grams per tonne silver from 194.22 to 198.88 metres. All other assays are still pending.Additional exploration results from the 2010 program are expected at Mercedes in the first quarter of 2011, along with an update on the development of the project. << Pilar ----- >>Pilar is Yamana's development stage project located in Goias, Brazil approximately 80 kilometres from the Company's Chapada mine. A construction decision was made in 2010 and the project is currently in the permitting stage with production expected to begin in 2013.Pilar is an orogenic gold deposit hosted in graphite and chlorite schists. Three main mineralized areas have been outlined along a strike length of approximately four kilometres. They are from south to north, Jordino, Ogo and Tres Buracos. The main deposit, Jordino, has been previously drilled continuously along a strike length of two kilometres and a dip extension in excess of 400 metres. Three main, structurally controlled ore bodies, HG1, HG2 and HG3, have been defined to date.The Company has undertaken an aggressive exploration program concurrently with mine development which began this year. The objective of the 2010 exploration program at Pilar was threefold: << 1) to infill drill the areas containing mineral reserves to support mine development 2) to infill drill areas containing mineral resources in order to upgrade to mineral reserves 3) to extend the known areas of mineralization >>During 2010, the focus of exploration was on extending the main Jordino mineralization down dip and to that end, 30,000 metres of diamond drilling has been completed this year (see Figure 3). In the north portion of Jordino, mineralization has been confirmed at over a 900 metre extent with significant gold grades (see Figure 4). This down dip extension is currently almost double the dip extent of the current mineral resource implying significant exploration upside and mineral resource growth. The deepest hole in this northern extension, JD-357, intersected 0.48 metres of 9.3 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) at a depth of 508.02 metres indicating that mineralization remains open.Holes JD-362 and JD-365 returned significant intersections indicating that mineralization remains open to the south. Hole JD-367, the northernmost hole intersected all three mineralized horizons, HG1, HG2 and HG3 establishing that the Jordino deposit remains open northwards. Results are detailed in the table below. << ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hole Depth Width (metres) Gold grams/tonne Horizon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- JD-357: 508.02 0.48 9.3 HG1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- JD-362: 443.09 6.91 7.48 HG2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 467.60 0.50 2.03 HG1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- JD-365: 364.00 1.00 6.42 HG2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 391.00 1.00 4.29 HG1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- JD-367 35.93 0.51 5.33 HG3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 123.03 0.53 16.30 HG2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 150.0 1.17 1.53 HG1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>In addition, an exploration step out hole JD364 was drilled two kilometres down dip from existing mineralization and intersected the HG1 and HG2 mineralized zones at a vertical drill depth of greater than 800 metres. The best results from JD364 were 0.5 metres of 6.2 g/t Au in HG1 and 0.5 metres of 4.58 g/t Au in HG2 (see Figure 3).This step out hole has demonstrated mineralization down a dip extent of at least two kilometres which is more than three times the current strike length of the current mineral resource. Drilling continues on this target to further confirm the down dip extent through infill drilling.These results are expected to increase and upgrade existing mineral resources and mineral reserves as well as adding additional mineral resources. An updated mineral resource estimate will be completed for the 2010 year end. << Fazenda Brasileiro ------------------ >>The Fazenda Brasileiro mine is one of Yamana's underground mines which is located in northeast Brazil and currently produces approximately 70 - 80,000 ounces of gold a year. The mine has been in operation for over 20 years and is known to have produced historically at rates of up to 150,000 ounces of gold per year.In 2009, the Company undertook a comprehensive exploration program to find new areas of mineralization at Fazenda Brasileiro and two significant mineralized zones have been discovered: Lagoa do Gato and more recently, CLX2 (see Figure 5).Lagoa do Gato and CLX2 represent potential higher grade sources of ore for the mill.CLX2The discovery of CLX2 is significant for the following reasons: << (a) CLX2 is at the footwall contact of the principal area being mined at Fazenda Brasiliero and is therefore easily and immediately accessible from existing mine workings and capital requirements for development are expected to be very modest (b) The strike length is currently 500 metres (see Figure 6) and it is completely open with only 15 per cent of the area having been drill tested (c) Widths and grades are better than areas currently being mined and are comparable to historical widths and grades of previous ore bodies that produced well in excess of 100,000 ounces per year and as much as 150,000 ounces per year (d) CLX2 represents the best and most immediate opportunity for an increase in grades, increase in mineral resources, extension of mine life and possibly production increases at Fazenda Brasiliero Best results include the intercepts below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Length Gold Hole From To (metres) grams/tonne Structure/ML ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-935 155 156 1 4.97 Canto ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-937 136.5 138.45 1.95 7.32 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-940 121.6 123.8 2.2 2.35 Canto ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-942 111 115.2 4.2 2.56 --------------------------------------------------------- Canto incl. 114 115.2 1.2 7.42 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-945 83.8 84.6 0.8 4.93 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-945 98 99 1 2.84 Canto ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-946 154.8 162.1 7.3 6.87 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-948 6 7 1 6.26 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-952 139.45 154.7 15.25 4.59 --------------------------------------------------------- CLX 2 Incl. 142.5 146.5 4 7.21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-953 170.6 172.4 1.8 8.37 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-957 152.9 163 11 7.48 --------------------------------------------------------- incl. 152.9 156.1 3.2 21.79 CLX 2 --------------------------------------------------------- incl. 160 163 3 6.42 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-958 161 169 8 4.17 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-960 168 170.85 2.85 10.4 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-965 164 174 10 8.76 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-1024 152.1 153.4 1.3 1.82 Canto ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-1024 163 164 1 1.51 Canto ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-1025 95 96 1 24.00 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-1027 31 35.15 4.15 2.25 CLX 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-1027 170 172 2 1.68 CLX 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FSS-1029 160.3 165.35 5.05 6.65 --------------------------------------------------------- CLX 2 incl. 163.05 164.2 1.15 21.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>A complete table of results to date can be found at www.yamana.comLagoa Do GatoThe Lagoa do Gato deposit was also discovered in 2009 and to date, just one quarter of the mineralized trend has been drilled. During the first half of 2010 the focus of exploration was on converting inferred mineral resources to indicated mineral resources and only a few extension holes have been completed (see Figure 7). Both infill and extension drilling of 8,000 metres to date, confirm the continuity of mineralization.Lagoa do Gato is characterized by mineralized ore shoots within a 10 kilometre long by 400 metre wide shear zone at the northwestern extension of the Weber Belt.Best results include the intercepts below. << ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Length Gold Hole From To (metres) grams/tonne Location ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-050 42 43 1 70.7 SW Extension ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-059 179.2 185 5.8 2.3 Central Extension ------------------------------------------------------------------------- incl. 183 185 2 4.37 Central Extension ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-059 258 261 3 3.19 Central Extension ------------------------------------------------------------------------- incl. 259 260 1 6.69 Central Extension ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-059 351 354 3 2.19 Central Extension ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-063 122.85 126 3.15 5.28 Infill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- incl. 124 125 1 14.95 Infill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-063 136.5 143 6.5 1.56 Infill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-066 141 144 3 4.37 Infill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-066 159 164 5 3.12 Infill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- incl. 159 160 1 9.68 Infill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-066 200 203 3 3.01 Infill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLG-067 187 188 1 3.69 Infill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>A complete table of results to date can be found at www.yamana.com.Further ExplorationThe Weber Belt containing the CLX2 zone has been identified as having significant additional potential. There remains 10 kilometres of prospective stratigraphy and structure to be drilled. << Jacobina -------- >>Jacobina is located in northeast Brazil and currently produces approximately 100,000 - 120,000 ounces of gold per year.The 2010 exploration program at Jacobina has been focused primarily on extending and upgrading current mineral resources and identifying and delineating higher grade mineral resources primarily at the Morro do Vento and Canavieiras areas in order to increase the average feed grade to the mill (see Figure 8).A total of 13,000 metres in 18 holes have been completed year-to-date, including infill and step out drilling. Initial results indicate that the exploration effort has been very successful in achieving its goals.Drilling at both Morro do Vento and Canavieiras will continue through the fourth quarter of 2010 and into 2011. In 2011, efforts will focus on converting the majority of inferred mineral resources at Canavieiras to mineral reserves.The Canavieiras deposit and the Main Reef zone in the Morro do Vento deposit are the highest grade mineralized zones which have been discovered to date in the mining complex and represent the most significant near mine targets likely to increase the grade of the mineral resources and mineral reserves.Both Canavieiras and Morro do Vento drill results show grades in intersections that are substantially higher than, in some case a multiple of, overall reserve grade at Jacobina of 2.14 g/t. Much of the 2010 exploration focus has been on these areas. << Canavieiras ----------- >>Drilling at the Canavieiras deposit has intersected substantial widths of very high grade mineralization especially in the LU reefs as highlighted by holes CANIF02, CANIF04, CANIF05, CANIF06 and CANIF07 (see Figure 9). << ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From To True Thickness Gold Hole (metres) (metres) (metres) grams/tonne Reef/Unity ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF02 337.00 340.78 2.17 2.14 MSPC/LVL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF02 357.00 361.50 2.58 4.50 MSPC/LVL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF02 436.50 438.20 0.98 3.44 MU/LU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF02 458.80 464.00 2.98 5.93 MU/LU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF04 278.44 280.40 1.26 1.45 HOLANDEZ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF04 362.94 368.61 3.64 15.09 HOLANDEZ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF04 408.00 413.50 3.54 1.50 MSPC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF04 incl. 408.00 409.50 0.96 2.60 MSPC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF04 423.00 426.00 1.93 2.40 LVL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF04 475.75 485.13 6.03 4.94 MU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF04 510.00 519.00 5.79 10.58 LU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF05 346.49 349.50 1.60 2.17 MSPC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF05 371.00 376.11 2.71 2.88 LVL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF05 392.50 395.50 1.59 6.93 LVL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF05 434.00 442.00 4.24 1.34 MU/QTO ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF05 466.81 470.00 1.69 2.27 MU/QTO ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF05 478.38 479.52 0.60 3.33 MU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF05 495.00 509.40 7.63 5.68 LU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF05 568.13 574.57 3.41 6.63 SPC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF06 437.00 440.00 1.81 4.33 MSPC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF06 449.64 459.50 5.93 1.73 LVL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF06 475.00 480.00 3.01 3.78 LVL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF06 502.40 514.50 7.28 5.31 MU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF06 528.00 536.00 4.81 11.00 LU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF07 339.00 344.00 3.66 1.52 MSPC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF07 349.50 357.00 5.49 2.64 MSPC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF07 400.00 407.50 5.49 2.45 LVL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF07 415.00 431.63 12.16 2.66 MU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF07 incl. 415.00 419.64 3.39 4.19 MU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF07 442.00 450.30 6.07 5.91 LU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF07 incl. 444.50 448.70 3.07 8.48 LU ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF11 310.50 337.15 13.73 3.30 HOLANDEZ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANIF11 incl. 319.75 337.15 8.96 4.61 HOLANDEZ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>These intersections will significantly add to the 2010 mineral resource. << Morro do Vento -------------- >>At Morro do Vento the most significant results have been intersected in the Main Reef (see Figure 10).

In the first of these regional exploration programs, the Company discovered the Pampa Augusta Victoria vein structure within 30 kilometres of the El Penon mine.El Penon currently produces approximately 400,000 - 420,000 gold equivalent ounces per year and has a long track record of replacement of ounces and mineral resource expansion. While the focus of the 2010 exploration program at El Penon was focused on the North Block and existing vein structures near the mine in order to replace mined ounces and increase mineral resources, the focus of the regional exploration effort was to identify new mineralization within hauling distance of the existing operation.During 2010, there have been 91 reverse circulation drill holes and three diamond drill holes totaling 38,835 metres completed that focused on extending both the Victoria and Victoria Este vein systems within the Pampa Augusta Victoria zone.Mineralization is structurally controlled and consists of low sulphidation, epithermal quartz veins, stockworks and hydrothermal breccias, similar to other ore bodies at El Penon. These rocks are exposed in a structurally controlled window that is approximately 400 square kilometres in surface area.To date, the Victoria vein has been traced along strike for approximately 900 metres and 250 metres down dip. The Victoria Este vein system consists of three different sub parallel structures with variable widths of between one to four metres and a drill defined strike length of 500 metres. Neither the Victoria nor the Victoria Este veins outcrop and they are still open in all directions.A new sub parallel vein system, Elizabeth, was discovered in September 2010. Drill holes DAV0032, DAV0089, DAV0090 and DAV0091 (Figure 11) intersected a new mineralized structure 200 metres east of the Victoria Este vein system. Mineralization is associated with veins, veinlets and hydrothermal breccias hosted in andesites and, to date, has been traced along 170 metres of strike length with vein widths of between one and five metres. Additional drilling is underway to better define the horizontal and vertical dimensions of this new discovery.The best results received to date at Elizabeth include: << ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gold Silver Drill Hole From To Length grams/ grams/ Hole type (metres) (metres) (metres) tonne tonne Vein ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAV0032 RC 234 236 2 1.96 652.0 Elizabeth System ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAV0032 RC 322 324 2 0.13 404.0 Elizabeth System ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAV0089 RC 306 312 6 6.33 952.0 Elizabeth System ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAV0090 RC 224 226 2 3.62 1179.0 Elizabeth System ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAV0091 RC 434 442 8 4.94 712.0 Elizabeth System ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>The Company's efforts at Pampa Augusta Victoria have been significant and as a result, new mineralized structures have been discovered. This district has great potential given the likelihood of these structures to be extended in all directions. Pampa Augusta Victoria is significant given the regional nature of the discovery and the potential positive impact to current production levels and mine life at El Penon.Other ExplorationThe 2010 exploration program also includes work at the Suruca gold area of the Chapada mine, where a feasibility level study has been undertaken, near pit drilling at the main Chapada pit, near mine exploration at El Penon, exploration at Minera Florida, and Gualcamayo primarily in relation to the extention of QDD Lower West, as well as other green fields exploration. Further results from these programs are expected early in 2011.Quality Assurance and Quality ControlYamana incorporates a rigorous Quality Assurance and Quality Control program for all of its mines and exploration projects which conforms to industry Best Practices as outlined by the CSE and National Instrument 43-101.

An absolute classic. Well deserving of the 3 stars it gets. We climbed it in 5 pitches with a bit of a snow plod between pitches 1 and 2. The route cuts a deep, narrow gully into the mountainside making it feel very similar to Smith's on Creag Meagaidh. Patri (just next to this route) had 3 teams on it and we had this route to ourselves! Bolted belays, awesome ice and atmosphere all the way.

Posted in Twin Cities Market | Posted on 11-19-2014 | Written by Metrostudy News
- New Home Starts through 3Q14 are down 7.4% YoY
- Builders and Developers are feeling a squeeze from a lack of quality lots in desirable locations
- Homebuyers are sitting on the sidelines; Metrostudy revising its forecast downward for 2014.
November 2014: Metrostudy's 3Q14 survey of the Twin Cities housing market showed the combination of rapidly rising home prices/land costs, a cautious consumer, and modest economic growth causing slowdown in new home activity. Through the first nine months of 2014, there have been a total of 4,258 new housing units started (including single-family detached, townhome, and duplex units), a decline of 7.4% compared to the first nine months of 2013. The 1,675 units started in the third quarter of this year represents a decline of 7.8% over the 3Q13 starts total. The annual rate of starts currently stands at 5,593 units, while the annual rate of closings is at 5,425 units. Both numbers represent a decline when compared to the annual rate of a year ago. Many builders have reported a slowdown in traffic through their communities this year and especially during the late summer and early fall months.
"The second and third quarters of 2013 were very good to homebuilders, with a significant uptick in starts and closings activity when compared to 2012; an increase of 35.0% during that six month span," said Christ Huecksteadt, Regional Director of Metrostudy's Twin Cities Region. "The middle quarters of 2014 were down 9.2% when compared to the same six-month stretch in 2013. That being said, the numbers for second and third quarter of 2014 were better than those of any year since 2007, with the exception of last year. While the slowdown this year is not likely indicative of a major decline in the coming months, it does show that the recent uptick in activity was not sustainable."
Through the first nine months of 2014, the majority of counties surveyed by Metrostudy saw a decline compared to construction activity in the first nine months of last year. Hennepin County still leads the way with approximately 19.6% of all new home construction in the Twin Cities market occurring there. Dakota County is number two, representing 16.0% of Twin Cities new home construction over the past year. A few outliers saw a significant increase in starts activity this year: Chisago and Isanti counties, increasing from a combined 97 starts through the first nine months of 2013 to 254 starts in the first nine months of this year.
At the bottom of the market, standing new home inventory was a major concern, with more than a 4.0 month supply in the overall market. As the rate of new home closings increased and builders focused on eliminating the excess inventory, the months of supply indicator declined.
Currently there is just a 1.3 month supply of standing new home inventory in the Twin Cities market, well below the estimated normal level of 2.5 months. This has led some builders to be more aggressive about adding to the levels of inventory, with a 21.6% increase in finished and vacant new home inventory in the third quarter compared to the prior quarter.
With a relatively consistent pace of new home construction (the rate of lot absorption), and a declining level of vacant developed lot inventory, the months of supply for lots in the Twin Cities has fallen from a high of nearly 120 months in the second quarter of 2011, to a current level of 43.7 months. The 3q14 supply indicator rose for the first time since 2011 due to the slowdown in construction activity. If Metrostudy excludes those lots in less desirable locations from the survey, the months of supply indicator drops even more sharply. Builders and developers are both feeling the squeeze from a lack of quality lots in desirable locations, leading to more acquisition and development activity. Through the first nine months of 2014, 2,224 new lots have been delivered with more entitlement activity also occurring.
Many of the most active market areas in the Twin Cities region are currently exhibiting a months of supply nearing equilibrium levels (24 to 30 months). Hennepin County accounts for nearly 20% of all construction activity in the Twin Cities market and currently has a 21-month supply of lot inventory available. Dakota County, the second most active market in the Twin Cities region, currently has a 25-month supply of lot inventory. While the overall market shows an oversupply of lots, lots in many of the most desirable locations are becoming more and more scarce, leading to builders to seek land and lot opportunities in those markets (driving up the price of land) as well as some secondary markets.
Much of the news that impacts the new home market continues to sound positive; job growth continues, the unemployment rate has fallen, foreclosures have moderated, and the resale market continues to improve. However, the positive news is just not positive enough to sustain the growth in construction activity that was seen over the past two years. In addition, consumer confidence has waned in recent months, causing many to sit on the sidelines and wait things out. There just does not seem to be much urgency among prospective home buyers in the marketplace.
Metrostudy expects that the remainder of 2014 will see little to no improvement in the pace of new home construction and sales, with 2015 not promising much better. The market is not too far off from having supply issues impact the market's potential for growth in addition to an economy whose temperature can be described as lukewarm at best, though improving.
"Given these factors, Metrostudy has revised it's forecast downward to a range of 5,250 to 5,750 new home starts in 2014," said Huecksteadt. "Next year's outlook will be heavily dependent upon growth in the local economy and builders' and developers' ability to deliver lots in desirable locations to meet potential new home demand. In addition, the housing industry desperately needs the consumer to jump back into the game. Modest growth from 5% to 10% is forecast for 2015. Economic growth and, maybe more importantly, consumer attitudes toward home buying, will be crucial for this forecast to materialize."

Grateful Dead
Greatest Stories Ever Told - "Brokedown Palace"
By David Dodd
Here's the plan—each week, I will blog about a different song, focusing, usually, on the lyrics, but also on some other aspects of the song, including its overall impact—a truly subjective thing. Therefore, the best part, I would hope, would not be anything in particular that I might have to say, but rather, the conversation that may happen via the comments over the course of time—and since all the posts will stay up, you can feel free to weigh in any time on any of the songs! With Grateful Dead lyrics, there's always a new and different take on what they bring up for each listener, it seems. (I'll consider requests for particular songs—just private message me!)
A few days ago, I was lucky enough to be at a backyard house concert featuring Mark Karan, playing acoustic and mostly solo. He ended his show with a beautiful version of "Brokedown Palace." A friend of mine, standing next to me, turned to me when it was over and said, "Just in case—that's the song I want played at my memorial service." I told him, "Me, too."
I have heard it played at a couple of memorial services over the years, always to excellent effect. It's a song that begs to be sung again and again, and there have been some excellent cover versions over the years, including, in particular, versions by Joan Osborne, found on her album, Pretty Little Stranger, and a gorgeous instrumental version by Jeff Chimenti with Fog.
The lyric to "Brokedown Palace" was written by Robert Hunter as part of a suite of songs that arrived via his pen during a stay in London in 1970. He entitled it "Broke-Down Palace," and now that it exists as a piece of writing, it seems to have always existed. It was composed on the same afternoon as "Ripple" and "To Lay Me Down," with the aid of a half bottle of retsina.
Its first performance was on August 18, 1970, at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, and became a staple of the live repertoire. After the 1974 hiatus, "Brokedown Palace" appeared almost exclusively as the closing song of the show, as an encore. It had the effect of sending us out of the show on a gentle pillow of sound, the band bidding us "Fare you well, fare you well…"
The story the song may be telling for any one of us is wide open. Hunter doesn't give us much. The song can be a song to someone departed from life, or just from the relationship with the singer. Or maybe the singer is departing, and possibly departing this life, or possibly departing a relationship. Some have suggested it is a song about reincarnation, and the journey through existences ("…many worlds I've come since I first left home"). So, regardless, the song appeals to us repeatedly throughout changing life circumstances and, in different contexts, rings true over and over again. (I've harped on this idea of hearing a lyric differently at different points in our lives repeatedly over the course of my dead.net posts, but it's kind of a major theme, I think. Let me know if I should stop pointing this out….)
For me, the "many worlds" line always spoke to experiences I had inside the many worlds to be found in the human brain, when we can unlock those experiences. Enough said about that, although I suspect several of you may wish to share stories about your own "many worlds."
In The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics, I quote from a note I received from a reader, recounting hearing Ken Kesey speak at the University of Virginia in 1998. I just spent a little time tracking down a transcript of that talk, and here's the part about "Brokedown Palace":
I lost my son in a wrestling accident. On the way to a wrestling meet, the van went off a cliff. I remember the feeling….I'll get back to that… ok I'll tell it….You know, if anybody knows the song "Broke Down Palace," (fair thee well, fair thee well, I love you more than words can tell), after Jed had been dead a few months we went to see the Dead. They were playing at our opera house. They did their usual stuff and got their big ovations and then, they started playing "Broke Down Palace" and they all turned toward me and all our family was sitting up there. They all turned toward us and the guys in the audience began to turn toward us. And that song was sent from the Grateful Dead to our bruised hearts. And it was like having somebody reach out and putting their hand on your shoulder and saying, "Yeah we feel it." And when it was over there was no applause. Everybody knew it. We were all crying. And how many bands do you know that could do that? Like when Eric Clapton begins to sing "Tears in Heaven," this is real. This isn't rock and roll. This is the heart speaking out to other people whose hearts have been wounded. And there are a bunch of us.
While the song does stand alone extremely well, it also inhabits a particular place on the American Beauty album, rising out of "Ripple," and leading into "Till the Morning Comes." It echoes bits and pieces of "Box of Rain" ("such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there") and lends emotional background and depth to "Operator." Even "Truckin'" resonates with "Brokedown Palace"—"Back home, sit down and patch my bones…" The entire suite of songs holds together incredibly well, and I believe that "Brokedown Palace" is the glue.
The act of planting a weeping willow, of doing something that won't be fully realized, or grown, in any immediate sense, is a key to the song. While there are plants in other songs on the album (last week I counted eight in "Sugar Magnolia" alone, including a willow), this is the one where the singer plants the tree. Stays. Makes a home—another recurring theme throughout the album. The singer is going to plant a tree by the water's edge and thereby see continuity and change in one view—the tree standing in one place, "the river roll, roll, roll." Of course, the tree will "grow, grow, grow," so it's not truly standing still, not static, but it is, at least, stable.
Ready to hear your stories of how this song has resonated for you, what comfort you may have taken from it, or anything else that you might care to relate about "Brokedown Palace."
it sounds like you belonged there just fine.
On our way from Minnesota to California my dear friend Melissa and I stumbled into Red Rocks in 1982 - too new to the scene to know this was RED ROCKS and that all 3 nights were sold out. Still we waited in the rain and actually made our way through the school and the cemetery and the searchlights and the parking lot and got to hear a few songs the first night. We thought we were so cool! We could tell our friends we got close enough to hear the band!
The second night we found tickets and went to the show. The first set closed with Might As Well. We looked at each other and realized that indeed we had "never had such a good time, in our life before". Maybe we didn't belong there, but there we were.
I have a silk screen print of the 1982 Red Rocks shirt in archival framing on my wall - as if I needed a reminder of that oh so special night.
I nagged my local record store in 1981 to get me the single Promised Land by Elvis - the one I had heard on the local country station. After 6 months he finally came through. in 1982 at my first Greek show the Dead played Promised Land. Well of course they did....

This song got me through the deaths of my best friend, my mother, and my sister. It's been 9 years. Then I heard Phil speak at Further, All Good 2013. He told everyone to look to the person next to you that you love. I put my arm around my 21 year old niece. He asked that everyone consider organ donation because a fine young man gave him a liver and he was grateful to be alive and singing on stage for us then. I was grateful too. It was beautiful tribute.
Escaping the town of noise where I work I travel to my small piece of land on the Gila River and always take relief with the sound of the water in gentle rapids. Also the bird songs of morning and evening as the sounds of joy. Have planted hundreds of red willow cuttings for stream bank restoration and stabilization and many times remembered "Brokedown Palace". Goin Home Goin Home. Also an interesting juxtaposition from this song is from Workingmans Dead. Easy Wind- "And the river keeps a talkin but you never heard a word she says." Thank you Pigpen. I also see the word palace as interchangeable with the word temple as an allegory of the ageing human body moving towards the great beyond. Going to leave to brokedown palace. Make myself a bed by the waterside. The river of life always flowing and recharging. The banks green edge as a place of healing and reflection and preparation for the next stage. Neal Cassady didn't die, he just stole another body. American Beauty is a masterpiece for the ages. Jerry's use of pedal steel guitar on Brokedown Palace is poignant. Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.
Thanks to all for the thoughts on this song. Each week, because of the opportunity to write this blog, I have the gift not only of being able to spend some time thinking in depth about a song, but then the additional and amazing gift of hearing the thoughts of everyone who takes the time to comment on the post. So it's an exponentially enriching experience. I will be very interested, when and if I get through to the end of this project, to then go back and re-read, and then rewrite and rethink yet again. Thanks, everyone, for the ongoing conversation!
Some albums you listen to over and over and American Beauty probably tops my list. Mr. Dodd has nailed it again, the way the songs such as Brokedown can mean different things at different times and the perfection of the suite of images presented by the various songs. The first half of the second side was always the most affective to me, with the validating images of Ripple leading into the intense loneliness of Brokedown before the uplift of the other songs.
Brokedown is about aloneness, solitude, living in a world where you've said farewell to all the singing birds, even you. Whether this happened because the narrator died (or is dying and is telling us about what's going to happen, the way I've always heard it), because his lover left him and he's totally bummed, or because of an apocalyptic event doesn't matter, the point is that he is facing a solitary world beyond. But on further reflection, perhaps this is a return home, and perhaps giving actions like creating a symbol (planting a weeping willow) and singing a lullaby will see us through.
And then the morning comes and you realize that you're not alone in the world and that there's someone watching out for you while you watch out for her. Maybe this is as simple as the narrator finding a new lover, but I think the first three songs of the second side are parables that work together to tell us that love, validation, and self-sufficiency will all happen … they aren't always easy and there will be fear and loneliness mixed in, but look for them and you'll find them.
I've got to say too that this is one of the most covered Dead songs to my experience. I especially love Ollabelle's and Adrienne Young's versions of this song, both of which are on YouTube.

Sephora is a makeup chain (at least where I am), so while it's pretty I'm not particular to that association. It DOES go with Jazmin really well though.
Cyrus is cool. I didn't like it at first either, but the more I heard it and tried it out, it grew on me. Plus Cy is a neat nickname.
I really like Emberlin! And I'd use Emmy as a nickname, not Ember, and Emmy Berg sounds fine.
Draiven is also AWESOME, no matter the origin/meaning. It just sounds very classic and kind of dark, like Damien or Devon, but not so common.
So I like your first two names better, but your second ones go better with Jazmin as a sibset.I'm not feeling incredibly profound at the moment. Check back later.

Husband is as particular as I am, if you were in the same room with us during one of these naming conversations your eyes would pop and roll and you would run out of popcorn I still have a soft spot for Emberlin and Draiven, but I know they are just not "it". Especially with our last name. I am not fond of Em, Emma, or Emmy for nn's, and any combo I found in Emberlin, just didn't work for us. Same with Draiven. We do us nn's so it's important to us to be able to shorten it for something casual, but I didn't want a son referred to as "Dre" or Ray. Janessa was the same because of nn's, my Grandma was Janet, Jan, and I don't want to think of her every time we say our daughter's nn, also, not fond of Ness, Nessa, or Nessie! ( I think of Kristen Stewart; "you named my daughter after the Loch Ness monster?") I have suggested sooo many names to husband, he is just as finicky as I am, looking for something just off the beaten path without a neon sign, perhaps "dark" but I like to think of it as edgy, and strong. Our next revised list was narrowed down so far most suggestions from these pages received a nay from one party or the other, but we took them all and tried them, so thank you to those of you who have contributed to our cause!!! Now, I can't help but want to change the spelling from Cyrus to Cyress. That's where I can sneak in that "edge" I like, just like the "z" with Jaz!

I swear you are my idol when it comes to awesome photography and gorgeous, imaginative layouts.
Great holiday pics. The girls are growing faster than the legal limit. And Michael's quite the handsome young man.
Wonderful pictures Donna. It looks like you had a great Christmas.
Ok, I just saw Maddy's video. Too cute for words.
Long time no visit. Chloe asked for a guitar for Christmas for about 4 weeks prior (and each day up until Christmas). We got her the same one Maddy has. It is so much fun. Pearl has the matching keyboard.
Love your artwork as usual.

WALLA WALLA -- A Walla Walla-area boy is alive today thanks to the life-saving skills of a bystander, according to the Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office.
At just before 6 p.m. on Monday, emergency responders were alerted that Jaden Coleman-Hernandez, 6, had been found not moving at the bottom of a private swimming pool.
The occasion was a family party at 1903 Smith Road in the Dixie area, noted Undersheriff Eddie Fryer. Jaden had been snorkeling in the pool, surrounded in the water and on land by family members, including his guardians, Thomas Schmerer and Tyson Harlow.
"This is not a case where a child was left unattended."
The boy was wearing a swim mask that covered his eyes and nose - the attached snorkel may have allowed water into the mask, Fryer speculated. "At some point, someone noticed the kid at the bottom of the pool."
Jaden was not without air for more than a few minutes, the undersheriff believes.
As soon as the boy was brought out, Michael Espinoza, 27, started CPR, Fryer said. By the time assistance from Walla Walla and Dixie fire departments arrived, Jaden was breathing and had a pulse, according to reports.
He was taken to Providence St. Mary Medical Center, then flown to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, where he was reported in stable condition this morning.
Having Espinoza on hand averted what was certain to have been a tragedy, Fryer said. "It could have had a much worse outcome."
In his experience in Southern California, pool drownings in the summer were a common occurrence, he added. "Knowing CPR is vital. It's very important you take these classes as they are offered in the community, even if you never have to pull it out of your bag if tricks. Especially families that have young children.

Glad to have you here Dr Rogers.
South of New Orleans, we've got the ongoing war with fireants. When you think you got them all, they show up a few days later. What product ( non-toxic) and what methods do you recommend for getting rid of these pests at least for a few months? We also feed birds and ants make their domains right under the feeders. No problem with the lawn, lack of rain helps in keeping it from growing "like weed", even if we could use some more rain, I said...some. thank you for any advice,

"I was looking for a new dish for Thanksgiving and I must say it was a total hit! Everyone loved it. I was worried about using jalapenos but they turned out very tasty and not overpowering. This will be a Thanksgiving staple from now on! I loved that I could just pop it in the oven. I then put it in a warmer. Turned out very nice!!!! Thanks ""

Dell XPS 10 Tablet ReviewPosted on: 2 years ago, comments (0)
Overview Dell XPS 10 tablet is Dell's latest update to it's tablet computing devices, running on the Windows RT Operating System, it is slight, and well designed. Along with a detachable keyboard, the XPS 10 effortlessly transforms to a laptop. Dell has packed this tablet with lots of power and fun filled features, adapting to your work style or just be casual. XPS 10 certainly is quite a tablet to miss on the market. Build Dell has designed the XPS 10 to make it sturdy, portable and to keep it light. Weighing around 1.4lbs, XPS 10 is quite lighter than it's competitors. The build quality feels premium and is comfortable to hold. The XPS 10 grips well in your hands making it sturdy. Dell also claims, the tablet is capable of withstanding minor bumps, due to it hardened edge-to-edge scratch resistant glass. The back also features a 5MP camera and the brand logo. The lock key lies next to expandable memory card slot and usb slot, neatly covered flap, on the top where as the 3.5mm headphones jack is just above the volume keys on the left. The 40-pin doc connector at the bottom also serves as HDMI port (with an adapter). Hardware The Dell XPS 10 has two variants, both powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual core processors clocking 1.5GHz, available in 32GB and 64GB flash storage. The tablet features a 10.1" display, 5MP rear facing camera with autofocus, 2MP front facing camera that records 720p video, stereo speakers, dual digital array mics, 28Wh 2-cell lithium battery, essential sensors and connecting ports. The storage is expandable by a microSD supporting SDXC. The 40-pin dock connector also serves as a HDMI port using an adapter.
The Keyboard(detachable), sold separately, packs an built in battery, up to 18 hours, 2 USB ports and a HDMI port. Display The 10.1" display on the XPS 10 sports a resolution of 1366x768, but certainly lacks pin sharp clarity like the iPad or Chromebook Pixel. However it is decent enough to get the work done, watch movies, or play some games. The Metro app is colourful and the display is adaptive, making it vivd. The display is powerful making it capable of playing 1080p/50fps video files. The screen is also scratch resistant making it durable without affecting the touch interface. Performance Windows 8 RT runs smoothly, compared to most other devices, but there are numerous minor delays and navigation is slightly poor around the OS. That's not a problem to worry once you get used to, once the Metro app kicks in, the entire user experience is smooth.
XPS 10 comes with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 RT, and it's performance is simply amazing. It is much more advanced and the file management of Windows RT is familiar giving it an advantage. Third party desktop apps cannot be installed making it less prone to virus and spyware, so there's no need to install security softwares occupying space.
The XPS 10 claims 10hours of battery life, but in reality it get going on for a day quite easily on a mid-heavy usage. The battery however is not replaceable by the customer. Software The Windows 8 app store still lacks dedicated apps. However there are small apps, to get basic stuff done. Coming to the user interface, the Windows RT, which is the lower to Windows 8 pro OS. Being light, it doesn't require huge computing hardware, it is speedy and making it cost effective. The overall experience with the software is good, more than just satisfactory, and will improve as Microsoft upgrades their app store.
The XPS 10 comes preloaded with Windows Defender, Firmware TPM, BitLocker encryption, SecureBoot, etc., which is a good thing, making it feel secure. Verdict Dell has made a tablet good enough for the market, making most out of the user experience. The build quality and feel is quite worth mentioning. The tablet feels comfortable, and sturdy. The 40-pin dock connector is secure and simple to use, easily transforming it to a notebook. It packs in more power, connector ports, but is sold separately. What the XPS 10 lacks, is a high clarity screen. It definitely is a challenging device in the market and is a device to look out for. Disclaimer: We try to be 100% correct in providing informations.
