TORONTO, December 6, 2007 - Milling operations at the Mochito mine, located in Honduras, have returned to normal levels and the Company is currently depositing tailings in the Pozo Azul tailings impoundment area. On October 18, 2007, the Company announced that it had discovered a discharge of water from the newly commissioned Soledad tailings impoundment area which necessitated a suspension of milling at Mochito. It was determined that recommissioning the Pozo Azul tailings impoundment area, for which permitting remained in place, would be the quickest method of returning Mochito to full production. Mining continued throughout this period and construction is underway at Pozo Azul to increase the capacity of this tailings impoundment area to hold up to 24 months of additional material while plans are being formulated to repair Soledad.
