                     Update Regarding Production Timetable


Further to the announcement made on 14 February 2008, the Board announces the
following update regarding operations at the Scotia mine.



During the excavation for the tailings dams, it has become apparent that some
modifications to their design are required.  In particular, a significantly
greater volume of earthworks than had originally been envisaged will be
necessary.  The Board currently believes that this will delay the completion of
the tailings dam construction until mid to late April.



It is expected that production will commence immediately thereafter from the
stockpiles and the board anticipates a ramp-up to full production within a
period of one month following completion of the dams.



Ron Goodman, a Non-Executive Director, is currently on site as part of the
board's continuous assessment of the progress being made on the Scotia project.
