The milled ore tonnage exceeded for the first time 100,000 tonnes during the quarter, which again shows that the processing plant is of high technical quality. The capacity utilization rate in the mill was good and amounted to 94.6%. The gold production for the first quarter amounted to 176 kg, slightly below target due to a lower than expected gold grade and with that a lower gold recovery.
