Reclamation of the mined-out Rosa pit was essentially completed during 2006. In the Palo Alto pit, the effort continued to plant pine trees and other local species along the mined-out benches.
Mining at the Palo Alto pit will be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2007 at which time a small satellite pit adjacent to Palo Alto will be mined for the remainder of the year. It is planned that all mining operations will be completed by the end of 2007. The mine is expected to recover ounces from the leach pads through to 2009.
