Chatree  
Gold Mine
Thailand
Summary
Chatree continued as Kingsgate’s primary 
production asset throughout the year, 
producing 133,681 ounces of gold and over 
1,000,569 ounces of silver. The strong 
production performance was achieved despite 
some operational difficulties with slower than 
anticipated Government approvals to allow full 
utilisation of the expanded plant.
The delay of 63 days in approval of our 
Metallurgical License negatively impacted  
on our production targets which were also 
compounded by the Mining Contractor’s poor 
equipment availability. Near surface higher 
grades in Q Prospect mitigated these difficulties 
resulting in a strong final quarter for the year.
Chatree continues to demonstrate world’s best 
practice for safety. The mine has now operated 
for 23.6 million man hours (10.5 years) without  
a lost time injury (“LTI”).
