Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures
This press release presents certain financial performance measures, total cash costs per ounce
of gold produced, sustaining costs and all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced which
are non-International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) performances measures. This data
may not be comparable to data presented by other gold producers. Non-GAAP financial
performance measures should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance
with IFRS.

The cash costs and all-in sustaining costs are common performance measures in the gold
mining industry. The Company reports cash cost per ounce based on ounces produced. Cash
cost include operating mining costs, royalties but is exclusive of amortization and depletion and
sustaining capital expenditures. The all-in sustaining costs include costs of sales and sustaining
capital expenditures and administrative costs but excludes amortization and depletion and
accretion expenses. The Company believes that the all-in sustaining costs present a complete
picture of the Company’s operating performance or its ability to generate free cash flows from its
operation.

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Currently, the Company is focussing on stabilizing and increasing the Elder production. Our
objective is to produce 12,500 tonnes per month of gold mineralization.
We wish to use the full capacity of the Sleeping Giant mill by treating custom ore, to reduce the
operating cost per tonne treated.
For the long-term, in the gold sector, the Company has started a drilling program on the
Discovery and Flordin gold properties where substantial gold mineralization is found.
