Gold ounces sold in Nevada decreased 6% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007 due to the shutdown of Lone Tree processing facilities at the end of 2007. Lone Tree process facilities accounted for 33,000 ounces of sales in the first quarter of 2007.
The Lone Tree deposit was mined out in 2006. Processing of stockpiles and residual leaching is ongoing. Mining and the final placement of ore on the leach pads at Lone Tree was completed in the fourth quarter of 2006. Residual leaching will continue thereafter. Milling of stockpiled ore at Lone Tree was expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2007.
Mining commenced in April 1991 with the first gold pour in August 1991.
