Total gold production in 2016 amounted to 325.0 kg which is in line with the production guidance given in early 2016. Gold production increased every quarter throughout the year from 58.5 kg during the first quarter to 109.8 kg in the last quarter. The main reason to the increased gold production from one quarter to the next has been the improvement of the head grade. The improvement is a result of an increased focus to high-grade areas, in accordance with the Selective Mining strategy. Due to the increased head grade the gold recovery generally also has improved.

Gold production in 2015 was 204.5 kg higher than in 2016 mainly due to normal capacity utilization in 2015. Decreased gold price was the main reason which led to the Selective Mining strategy started in the beginning of year 2016.

An English summary of the full year-end report will be published on February 17, 2017.
