text: Kingsgate had a solid year with gold production 
  of 199,897 ounces at a total cash cost of 
  US$888 per ounce (including royalties). 
  
  The overall plant availability of 98.1% was 
  slightly lower than the previous year’s 98.4%. 
  The expanded plant is operating around 24% 
  above the annual “nameplate” throughput rate 
  at 6.2 million tonnes per annum and this is 
  expected to continue.

  Chatree had a strong year following receipt of 
  the final approvals for the expansion plant and 
  the combined plant has been operating at a 
  steady rate of 6.2 million tonnes per annum, 
  24% above nameplate capacity. 
  
  Total cash costs for the year were US$767 per 
  ounce (US$620 per ounce exclusive of Thai 
  royalties). The average royalty paid to the Thai 
  Government was $US147 per ounce of gold. 
  
  Challenger had a difficult year and was severely 
  impacted by an unplanned dilution and deple- 
  tion at Challenger Deeps, that when coupled 
  with the lower gold price and ongoing metal 
  price uncertainty, led to a major restructure of 
  mining at Challenger to focus primarily on the 
  higher grade Challenger West orebody.  Chatree continues to demonstrate world’s best 
  practice for safety and the environment with no 
  lost time incidents (“LTI”) or reportable environ- 
  mental incidents occurring at Chatree during 
  the year.
