Northgate is now widely recognized as one of the finest operators in the global mining business. This reputation is based on the Corporation's outstanding track record of delivering on its promises. Over the past six years, a dedicated and knowledgeable workforce has transformed Kemess into one of the most efficient open pit mines in the world. In 2005, exceptional operating performance at Kemess combined with a strong metal price environment, produced record earnings of $33 million and record cash flow of almost $66 million. As the Corporation moves forward into 2006 and beyond, the culture of operational excellence that exists within Northgate will provide a solid foundation for growth in pursuit of the Corporation's vision of becoming a larger, multi-mine gold producer.
