Plans were announced to temporarily close the mine and cease all mining and milling operations. Amendments to the Water Licence were required in order to continue operations. During the shutdown period, gold was to be recovered from the circuit and further exploration and delineation of the breccia pipe and the Flex zone would be carried out.

An additional 16 drill holes had been completed on the Flex zone. Drilling intersected the vein system 75 m north and 100 m south of the previous drilling. The drilling returned signifcant gold and silver values over narrow widths. The veins occur over a 55 m wide zone and have been intersected along a horizontal distance of 425 m on a north-northwesterly trend. It was also reported that mining at the the Brown-McDade deposit encountered carbonate-hosted gold-silver ore in a silicified breccia pipe.
