Heap leach operations require several months of continuous percolation to fully recover the leachable gold. Thus, the process advancements from the second quarter, together with ongoing improvements to the heap leach circuit, are projected to result in monthly gold production of about 9,000 ounces once steady-state operating levels are achieved during H2 2015. Taking into account production at Namoya during the first six months of the year, together with the impact of delays in mobile equipment financing and the resulting delivery timelines on the ramp-up of Namoya, the Company has updated expected 2015 gold production from Namoya to a range of 60,000 to 70,000 ounces.
