The Laiva mine produced 78 kilos of gold during December 2012
 PRESS RELEASE, 9 January 2013
During December 2012, the gold production at the Laiva mine amounted to 78
kilos. The availability of the concentrating plant was 61 per cent.
The main reason for the decreased production was the reduced availability due to
a planned operational stop that took three days and additional unplanned
operational stops due to consequences from a minor leakage of tailings along the
tailing pipe and unannounced power cuts in conjunction with cold weather
conditions.
Throughput in the grinding circuit, while in operation, was between 70 and 80
per cent of the designed capacity. The gold recovery was 82 per cent during the
month while the gold content in the ore processed amounted to 1.2 grams per
tonne.
The total gold production for the full year 2012 amounted to 931 kilos.
For future, the monthly production reports will be replaced by quarterly reports
in accordance with industry practice. Next quarterly results will be published
February 13, 2013. Next production report for the first quarter 2013 will be
published  April 12, 2013.
