In quarter two 2015 we completed the first phase of the development of Tau underground and we have now commenced commercial production in quarter three on the Eastern ore body. Management must be commended for completing the transition to an underground mining operation on time and within budget. We are looking forward to a marked increase in production and improvement in results in the last two quarters of the year. We succeeded in generating positive cash flows from operating activities in quarter two 2015 to continue funding the Tau underground development costs.

The Galaxy due diligence process has continued and we have agreed with their majority shareholders an extension to ensure that we produce a comprehensive business model that can provide considerable benefit to both sets of shareholders."
