In addition, the Company announced that the Closure Plan for mine production at the Timmins Mine has been filed by Ontario's Ministry of Northern Development and Mines.

Combined with the 5,107 ounces we produced during the last two weeks of October, the results in November clearly demonstrate that the Bell Creek Mill is operating extremely well and that we are positioned to exit 2010 with production at the mill meeting and possibly exceeding our target of 10,000 ounces per month.
