For the quarter, a total of 54,426 tonnes of ore at a grade of 4.6 grams per tonne were processed at the mill at a recovery rate of 96.7% which resulted in a production of 7,774 ounces of gold. The ounces continued to come mainly from the «A» vein. The «A» vein is narrower compared to the other veins at Bachelor, causing higher dilution of the ore once blasted, and finally lowering the feed grade to the mill. Furthermore, the «A» vein in this sector near the O'Brien intrusive is intersected by a series of low grade stringers that increase the ore dilution. These lower grade ores resulted in lower ounces sold even if the tonnage is similar to the previous quarter, which increases the unit cost per ounce.

Outlook for the coming quarters

In the coming months, the production will gradually come from the Hewfran sector. The grade and thickness is generally higher in the Hewfran sector. Therefore, the feed grade will begin to increase as the production will come from the Hewfran sector.
