RE: ReReReRe ecl61 PostsHi Ice,
Long time reader, first time poster, as they say.
Just to get this out of the way, I'm a holder of YNG from about .38 in last August, so you know where I'm coming from (i.e. any biases).
I found the articles that you mentioned, and it looks like you might have read the October 2009 article wrong.
(https://elkodaily.com/news/local/article_256b5bf0-84fe-5684-ba4b-434859f83b8a.html)
The October 2009 article specifically states the following:
"Dickson said Yukon-Nevada plans to produce roughly 150,000 ounces of gold in the first full year of production at Jerritt Canyon once the mill reaches steady-state operations to produce gold from stockpiles and begins underground mining again at the Smith and SSX mines."
So they're saying that "once the mill reaches steady-state operations" (which happened in August of 2010), they'll "produce roughly 150,000 ounces of gold" since that will be their first full year of production.
I also found the January 2010 article you mentioned, and it doesn't say anything about 200 ounces a day with 400 ounces being poured on a good day.

The only mention of the word ounces in the article is the following:
“Everything is running smoothly to 2,000 ounces per day,” said Yukon-Nevada Investor Relations Manager Nicole Sanches on New Year’s Eve."
I think it's safe to say that Nicole Sanches was misquoted on the 2,000 ounces per day figure (since that would annualize out to around 500,000 to 600,000 ounces a year).
As far as I can tell from my research, the new management team has not lied to the shareholders in terms of goals, guidance, etc.
Cheers.
