Preliminary GEO ratios for each respective segment are as  follows:
GEO Ratio   73.7   74.2   74.9   1.0   73.9   76.7   75.7   75.5   1.0   75.6
(2) True  North's operations were comprised of the re-processing of existing tailings.
 

The Company reiterates its 2016 production guidance of:

Nevada Operations: 145,000 to 150,000 GEOs which is split approximately 45%-50% in the first half of 2016 and 50%-55% in the second half of 2016.

True North: 8,000 to 12,000 gold ounces from mining and processing tailing.

Mr. Paul Huet, President and CEO commented, "Our third quarter production was in line with our mine plans as we advanced waste development at both Fire Creek and Midas. We have positioned ourselves to finish the year on a high note and remain on track to achieve our annual production guidance." Mr. Huet continued, "We are also excited to report first sales at True North. We recently completed reprocessing the tailings and have begun running ore through the mill and continue to expect to achieve our annual production targets."
