Current operating costs for the Argentina vein are$US100/tonne ore mined and processed, and any additional resources to themining plan would require no increase in G&A costs and reduced unitmining costs. When combined with the 2009 Argentina resource,the new total contained metal for each resource category is shown onTable 2.The 2009 mineral resource estimate has increased over that reported in2008 (see GPR news release August 11, 2008 and Tables 2 and 3 below)mainly due to:- a re-interpretation of the drill hole data,- new vein channel sampling data from exploration development on Level 2,- a correction of the survey of old underground workings to surfacetopography,- improved ore grades at Topia (522g/t silver; 0.58g/t gold; 3.26% leadand 4.20% zinc for the year to end of June),- updated and improved metallurgical recoveries, and- improved concentrate sales terms,These contributed to a greater understanding and confidence in theinterpretation of the Argentina vein.Table 1. At current productionlevels, management considers the new resource to be sufficient for atleast a 10 year mine life.The 2009 mineral resource estimate provides an update for the Argentinavein only, while the estimate delivered by Wardrop in 2006 for some ofthe other veins on the property came largely from the verification ofPenoles' resources, and are still intact, as mining to date has come fromnew mine development on these veins (Resources for the "other veins" wereestimated by Wardrop using metal prices as reported in the 2006 report).The breakdown for the Argentina Vein and Other Veins on the property isgiven in Table 1 below. The 2009 mineral resourceestimate comprises Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources of 173,103tonnes at 552g/t silver, 0.99g/t gold, 5.58% lead and 4.83% zinc(5,458,218 silver equivalent ounces) as well as 174,562 tonnes of 633g/tsilver, 1.03g/t gold, 5.10% lead and 3.84% zinc (5,692,957 silverequivalent ounces) in the Inferred category.
