RE: Hothschild Results
The expected Gold production for 2008 is 25,000 per EXMIN release in 2007.
The production to date 5,680 (mainly for Q4) is a good start bearing in mind the plant normally takes time to ramp up. So They are on target to meet expectations in 2008. This is a good result.
However we still are awaiting to see what the cash cost turns out at which should be given Hochschilds annual results. This is ultimately what matters. But it is looking like a really strong start.
