Resources have been depleted for mining.
During the months of August and September 2007, discrete single-source batch milling programs were completed in order to provide information regarding ore grades and grade control practices within the open pit mines. These programs have successfully confirmed the open pit ore grades and resource models, and have led to improved in-pit grade control and mining practices.

The Union Reef processing centre commenced production.
In 2006, GBS Gold undertook resource definition drilling activities focusing on the pit design and modeling for the commencement of production comprised of two diamond core and 21 RC drillholes for a total 979 m. This drilling program enabled an increase in the size and confidence of the resource model and resulted in a significant increase in total contained gold content at the Rising Tide open pit. RC and diamond drilling have been used exclusively to test the gold mineralization at the Rising Tide deposit. This drilling has been completed to 25 m by 25 m drill density.
