Mining and Milling: We are currently mining at expected levels from the first stope. We have begun the development of a second stope and anticipate developing a third stope before year end. Currently we are milling around 8 tons per day and will be increasing this in the coming weeks.

We are posting monthly recaps on our website at www.americanpatriotgold.com .
