Aurora Site Visit Reveals Future Upside

ANDREW KAIP, BMO Capital Markets (09/02/2009)
"Last week's site visit to the Aurora project in Guyana reveals several avenues for GUY to improve upon project economics outlined in the preliminary assessment. In the near term, plans to drill upward of an additional 36,000m through to the end of November are expected to have a material impact on feasibility engineering.

. . .BMO Research models a staged development plan for Aurora beginning with an 8ktpd open-pit mine capable of producing +250koz of gold at US$350/oz cash costs. Upon depletion of open-pit potential, operations are expected to evolve into a 5ktpd underground operation that is expected to grow to a +300koz profile at cash costs around US$400/oz.

BMO Research is maintaining an Outperform (Speculative) rating for GUY. The completion of the Preliminary Assessment further highlights Guyana's focused development strategy to begin gold production from the Aurora project in 2012."
