Significant progress at the La Negra Mine in Mexico has been made in the areas of safety, production and costs. The safety performance of the site continues to improve and lost time accidents (LTA) have been reduced from an average of 12 per quarter over the past six quarters to 2 LTA's in the 3rd quarter.

Production, as indicated above, has steadily improved over the quarter, mainly due to better grade control, mining of higher grade areas of the mine and better dilution control. Cost control measures, (workforce reduction, capital expenditure controls, inventory and direct purchase controls) implemented early in the 3rd quarter have begun to show benefits.
