During the second quarter we continued to realize the benefits of operational efficiencies put into place earlier this year, stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. We returned to profitability on an adjusted basis and improved cash flow, as well as realizing material improvements to all-in sustaining costs per ounce before the one-time costs associated with the ongoing Platosa optimization plan. We have reported adjusted net income during the period as, with the Companys strong share performance during Q2, fair value adjustments to financing costs were required under IFRS on our outstanding convertible debentures and associated warrants a quality problem.
