  Mine production for the year totalled 502,034 
  tonnes of ore at a reconciled grade of 4.17 g/t 
  for 67,307 ounces. 
  
  The M2 shoot ore source supplied 44% of total 
  ore production at an average grade of 3.7 g/t. 
  The M1 supplied 14% at 3.93 g/t and Challenger 
  West was 32% at 5.68 g/t. 
  
  Developing the high grade Challenger West 
  shoot has continued to be the primary focus for 
  the past and future 12 months whilst finishing 
  M1 / M2 lodes at the base of the mine on the 
  155 and 135 levels. 
  
  The year to date adjusted cash operating costs 
  were $1,107 per ounce of gold. Total site oper- 
  ating cash costs were $67.5 million. Total cash 
  expenditure including operating, capital and 
  exploration was $140 million. 
  
  Significant geological milestones at Challenger 
  for the year include the identification of the ‘215 
  Shear’, confirmation of M2 lode mineralisation 
  below the ‘215’ Shear, and continued develop- 
  ment on the high grade Challenger West lode.
