and we will probably go back into Golf Mike
this year as well,��� Albert said. ���We are looking for similar systems to Martabe and have
identified a number of good opportunities,
had some good results, and are continuing
with specific drilling programs at the
Southern Corridor and very soon at Tango
Papa. In other areas we are more on the
ground with geochemical and geophysical
survey work. Across the CoW we continue to

look for a buried copper-gold porphyry. We
believe this is very good hunting ground for
such a system���there is lots of smoke and
we have done a fair bit of work with a number of holes giving us encouragement.���
Operationally, this year the company will
focus on a number of key areas. ���First, getting the ramp-up behind us and reaching
nameplate capacity, which is not far off and
then the pressure will be on to determine
what can be obtained from the process
plant through debottlenecking and optimization, and there are some very positive
signals,��� Albert said. ���We have had some
short runs at throughputs well above design
capacity and we���ll be looking to maximize
that through the remainder of 2013. From
an engineering perspective we are also looking to tweak the process to get the maximum from it with little capital expenditure,
if any. This should enable us to get maximum value out of this operation.���
