12 Operations Report Operations  Report Chatree Gold Mine Summary Thailand Chatree continued as Kingsgate’s primary  production asset throughout the year,  producing 133,681 ounces of gold and over  1,000,569 ounces of silver. The strong  production performance was achieved despite  some operational difficulties with slower than  anticipated Government approvals to allow full  utilisation of the expanded plant. The delay of 63 days in approval of our  Metallurgical License negatively impacted on our production targets which were also  compounded by the Mining Contractor’s poor  equipment availability. Near surface higher  grades in Q Prospect mitigated these difficulties  resulting in a strong final quarter for the year. Chatree continues to demonstrate world’s best  practice for safety. The mine has now operated  for 23.6 million man hours (10.5 years) without a lost time injury (“LTI”).
