ARZ Forecast gold production for 2009
It is estimated that Casa Berardi will produce between 150,000 to 155,000 ounces of gold in 2009 at an average grade of 7.9 grams of gold per tonne. Average daily mine production is estimated at 1,800 tonnes per day, in line with 2008. The slight decrease in gold production from 2008 is attributable to lower average gold grades. Approximately 60 per cent of the production will come from zone 113, 30 per cent from the recently developed Lower Inter zone, and the residual 10 per cent from smaller zones and development material.
