Holt Mine, Operations and Financial Review
The Holt Mine ("Holt") produced 15,082 ounces of gold in Q4 2012 from processing 89,901
tonnes of ore with an average head grade of 5.51 g/t Au which was above
the Zone 4 average reserve grade of 5.18 g/t Au. Mill recoveries were
at their expected levels of approximately 94%. Gold produced during Q4
2012 increased by 15% over the third quarter of 2012 ("Q3 2012") and increased by 32% over Q4 2011 due to increased throughput of 12%
and 33% respectively. Holt produced at approximately 1,000 tonnes per
day ("tpd") during Q4 2012.
Gold sales in Q4 2012 increased by 28% over Q3 2012 and 21% over Q4
2011, mainly due to the increased production as discussed above. The
average realized price per ounce of gold sold(1) for Q4 2012 increased by US$70 per ounce when compared to Q3 2012 and
increased by US$20 per ounce when compared to Q4 2011. This led to an
increase in gold sales revenue of $5.6 million when compared to Q3
2012, and $4.5 million when compared to Q4 2011. Gold sales for FY 2012
were 87% greater than that achieved during FY 2011, as a result of the
36% increase in throughput, a 13% improvement in head grade, combined
with the increase in the average realized price per ounce of gold sold(1).
Operating development in Q4 2012 reduced by approximately 33% from Q3
2012 which resulted in a decrease in mine cash cost per ounce of gold
sold of US$135 per ounce or 19% over Q3 2012. Operating development
caught up with budgeted amounts during Q4 2012, and as such, SAS
reduced contracted development mining in the quarter. It is foreseen
that the development advancement achieved in Q4 2012 will remain at a
similar level in 2013. SAS is currently developing Zone 6 in order to
bring it into production at the beginning of the fourth quarter of
2013.
Mine cash cost per ounce of gold sold for FY 2012 was US$651 per ounce
as compared to US$785 per ounce in FY 2011. The 17% reduction in mine
cash cost per ounce of gold sold(1) was the result of increased throughput, improved head grade and mill
recovery, which was partially offset by a slight increase in the
Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate. Royalty costs for Q4 2012
were consistent with the level incurred in Q3 2012 and Q4 2011.
Cash margin from mine operations(1) in Q4 2012 increased by $5.3 million over Q3 2012 as a result of an
increase in gold sales and a decrease in unit operating costs. When
compared to Q4 2011, cash margin from mine operations(1) increased by 21% due to the increase in production in Q4 2012. Holt
contributed a cash margin from mine operations(1) of $41.7 million for FY 2012 as compared to $19.3 million achieved for
FY 2011.
Holt contributed 50,445 ounces, or approximately 53% of the annual gold
production for 2012. (see Operating and Financial Statistics - Holt Mine on page 12)
Holloway Mine, Operations and Financial Review
The Holloway Mine ("Holloway") produced 5,240 ounces of gold from processing 46,606 tonnes of ore
with an average head grade of 3.90 g/t Au from the Smoke Deep Zone ("Smoke Deep") with minor contributions from the Middle Zone. Recoveries were
approximately 90%, which exceeded the Company's forecast due to
favourable mineralogy. Gold production during Q4 2012 decreased by 3%
over Q3 2012 as a result of lower head grades and decreased by 14% over
Q4 2011 due to lower throughput and head grade.
Gold sales during Q4 2012 decreased by $0.8 million or 9% over Q3 2012
mainly as a result of lower head grade, offset by a 4% increase in the
average realized price per ounce of gold sold(1). When compared to Q4 2011, gold sales for Q4 2012 decreased by 21%
primarily due to a 17% decrease in throughput. Gold sales revenue for
FY 2012 decreased by 4% over FY 2011, primarily due to a 10% decrease
in commercial gold production sold, which was the result of a 6%
reduction in throughput.
When compared to Q3 2012, mine cash cost per ounce of gold sold
increased by US$88 per ounce mainly due to a 6% decrease in head grade
and a reduction in the mining rate. Mine cash cost per ounce of gold
sold(1) for FY 2012 was US$820 per ounce as compared to US$894 per ounce
achieved for FY 2011. The decrease in mine cash cost per ounce of gold
sold(1) was the result of higher mill recovery and head grade, and a 1%
increase in the Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate in FY 2012.
Royalty cash cost per ounce of gold sold(1) for Q4 2012 increased by US$17 per ounce of gold sold when compared to
Q3 2012 and increased by US$38 per ounce of gold sold in FY 2012 as a
result of the increasingly higher gold price during 2012.
Cash margin from mine operations(1) for Q4 2012 was $3.3 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from Q3 2012
and $0.9 million when compared to Q4 2011, mainly due to the decrease
in gold sales and higher cash costs. Holloway contributed a cash margin
from mine operations(1) of $13.4 million for FY 2012 as compared to $12.0 million for FY 2011
due to a decrease in operating unit costs.
Holloway contributed 21,629 ounces, or approximately 22% of the annual
gold production for 2012. (see Operating and Financial Statistics - Holloway Mine on page 13)
Hislop Mine, Operations and Financial Review
The Hislop Mine ("Hislop") produced 5,507 ounces of gold during Q4 2012. The head grade averaged
2.22 g/t Au, which was 18% higher than the average reserve grade of
1.88 g/t Au. Recovery for Hislop averaged approximately 81% during the
quarter, which was below expectations due to the processing of a
significant amount of green carbonate-syenitic ore where the size
fraction of the gold was finer than usual.
When compared to Q3 2012, gold sales revenue in Q4 2012 decreased by 10%
due to a 12% decrease in head grade as well as a 7% decrease in
throughput. When compared to Q4 2011, gold sales revenue improved by
19% due to a 14% improvement in head grade and a 3% increase in
throughput. Gold sales revenue for FY 2012 increased by 25% when
compared to FY 2011 due to a 17% increase in gold production and a 5%
increase in the average realized price per ounce of gold sold(1). The increase in production in FY 2012 was also the result of a 31%
improvement in head grade, partially offset by the reduced throughput.
Mine cash cost per ounce of gold sold(1) was 24% higher than Q3 2012 mainly due to a 23% decrease in gold
production. Mine cash cost per ounce of gold sold(1) in Q4 2012 was 8% lower than Q4 2011 due to the continued improvement
in head grade, increased throughput, and a decrease in the Canadian
dollar to US dollar exchange rate. Mine cash cost per ounce of gold
sold(1) for FY 2012 was US$1,034 per ounce as compared to US$1,272 per ounce
achieved for FY 2011. The reduction in unit cost was the result of
improved head grade, offset partially by a reduction in throughput and
a slight increase in the Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate.
Cash margin from mine operations(1) increased by $1.2 million in Q4 2012 when compared to Q4 2011 as a
result of the increased gold sales and lower cash costs mentioned
above. When compared to Q3 2012, cash margin from mine operations(1) decreased by $1.5 million as a result of decreased production. Hislop
contributed a cash margin from mine operations(1) of $14.7 million in FY 2012 compared to $6.3 million achieved for FY
2011 as a result of improved head grade.
Hislop contributed 23,530 ounces, or approximately 25% of the annual
gold production for 2012. (see Operating and Financial Statistics - Hislop Mine on page 14)
Taylor Project
The Company extracted a 15,000 tonne bulk sample in Q4 2012, and is
currently sending the material through a sampling tower which is used
to generate a more representative sample than solely using chip samples
from the mineralized face or muck samples taken from loading or
trucking equipment. SAS expects to process the bulk sample during the
first quarter of 2013. Results of the bulk sample program will be
released once the material has been processed and all the data has been
received and reviewed.
Exploration Programs
Exploration activities during 2012 were focused on surface drilling at
the Ghost Zone and Zone 4 targets near Holt and Holloway and the Hislop
North Project located northwest of the Hislop open pit. During 2012,
SAS conducted approximately 54,000 metres of surface drilling,
consisting of 95 drill holes on the Company's exploration targets. For
2013, the near mine targets remain the focus of the exploration
program, and will include some of the regional exploration targets.
Capital Resources
During FY 2012 SAS generated $17.5 million in net cash flow(1), of which $10.5 million was generated in Q4 2012. Working capital at
the end of 2012 improved by $10.3 million as compared to working
capital last year of $7.9 million, when adjusted for the current
portion of the Gold Notes of $12.6 million, which were repaid in full
in May 2012. At the end of FY 2012, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $30.7 million. The Company has access to additional cash
resources by way of a US$10.0 million revolving credit facility, and in
conjunction with the expected cash flows from operations, the Company
is well positioned to finance its ongoing capital programs at the mines
and to finance the further advancement of Taylor and other advanced
stage exploration projects, without the need for external financing.

Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold
Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold is a non-GAAP performance measure
and may not be comparable to information in other gold producers'
reports and filings. The Company has included this non-GAAP performance
measure throughout this document as the Company believes that this
generally accepted industry performance measure provides a useful
indication of the Company's operational performance. The Company
believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to
evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow.
Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures
of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The following table
provides a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce of gold sold to
production expenses per the Financial Statements for Q4 2012, Q4 2011
as well as for FY 2012 and FY 2011:

Notes:
|
(1)
|
In the first quarter of 2012, the Company accrued a royalty liability of
$99 at Holloway which was incurred during the period from August 2011
to December 2011. This amount has been retroactively applied to the
calculation of the total cash cost per ounce of gold sold for each of
these quarters, respectively.
|
(2)
|
Commercial operations at Holt commenced on April 1, 2011.

Mine-site cost per tonne milled
Mine-site cost per tonne milled is a non-GAAP performance measure and
may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports
and filings. As illustrated in the table below, this measure is
calculated by adjusting Production Costs, as shown in the statements of
operations for inventory level changes and then dividing by tonnes
processed through the mill. Since total cash cost per ounce of gold
sold data can be affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates, Management believes that mine-site cost per tonne milled
provides additional information regarding the performance of mining
operations and allows Management to monitor operating costs on a more
consistent basis as the per tonne milled measure eliminates the cost
variability associated with varying production levels. Management also
uses this measure to determine the economic viability of mining blocks.
As each mining block is evaluated based on the net realizable value of
each tonne mined, the estimated revenue on a per tonne basis must be in
excess of the mine-site cost per tonne milled in order to be
economically viable. Management is aware that this pertonne milled measure is impacted by fluctuations in throughput and thus
uses this evaluation tool in conjunction with production costs prepared
in accordance with IFRS. This measure supplements production cost
information prepared in accordance with IFRS and allows investors to
distinguish between changes in production costs resulting from changes
in production versus changes in operating performance.

Cash margin from mine operations
Cash margin from mine operations is a non-GAAP measure which may not be
comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings.
It is calculated as the difference between gold sales and production
costs (comprised of mine-site operating costs and production royalties)
per the Company's Financial Statements. The Company believes it
illustrates the performance of the Company's operating mines and
enables investors to better understand the Company's performance in
comparison to other gold producers who present results on a similar
basis.

Notes:
|
(1)
|
Holt commenced commercial production on April 1, 2011. The operating
results for the mine prior to April 1, 2011, were classified as site
maintenance and pre-production expenditures.
|
(2)
|
Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold, mine-site cost per tonne milled
and cash margin from mine operations are non-GAAP measures and are not
necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies
due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation (see
pages 8-11 for an explanation of non-GAAP measurements).

Notes:
|
(1)
|
Holloway commenced production in October 2009.
|
(2)
|
Excluding the three months ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, gold
sales include 1,860 ounces of gold delivered to the Gold Note holders
in each of the quarters during 2011.
|
(3)
|
Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold, mine-site cost per tonne milled
and cash margin from mine operations, are non-GAAP measures and are not
necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies
due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation (see
pages 8-11 for an explanation of non-GAAP measurements).
|
(4)
|
In the first quarter of 2012, the Company accrued a royalty liability of
$99 at Holloway which was incurred during the period from August 2011
to December 2011. This amount has been retroactively applied to the
calculation of the total cash cost per ounce of gold sold for each of
these quarters, respectively.

Notes:
|
(1)
|
Hislop commenced commercial production on July 1, 2010.
|
(2)
|
Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold, mine-site cost per tonne milled
and cash margin from mine operations are non-GAAP measures and are not
necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies
due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation (see
pages 8-11 for an explanation of non-GAAP measurements).
|
(3)
|
Hislop is subject to a 4% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") which includes a minimum Advance royalty payment obligation.
