completed, with 75,000t of ore grading 1.5g/t processed to date and
250,000t grading 1.5g/t of open-cut ore currently stockpiled.
Underground development has also seen the first sub-surface ore
mined, with stopes due to come into play in the September quarter.

marks the beginning of a new phase in the WAF story. To successfully
transition from an exploration company to a gold producer is without
doubt a great achievement for all involved. I would like to thank WAF`s
owners` team and all consultants, contractors and other stakeholders for
their hard work and support over the last four years to bring Sanbrado
from discovery into production."
