o 5m @ 5.2g/t at Havana North

o 8m @ 3.5g/t at Crouching Tiger

o 19m @ 1.2g/t at Tropicana

Conceptual study underway

o Will consider alternative low cost opportunities to mine the down dip extensions at Havana and Tropicana (and extensions North and South)

o Incorporates mine planning studies and substantive resource definition program

Resource definition drilling spend expected to expected to increase from July 2015
