The Golden Cross mine is a Joint Venture between Coeur
Gold New Zealand Limited, as Manager, and Viking Mining Limited. The mine is
targeting Zero Lost Time Accidents as a goal.

The
Golden Cross operation produces gold and silver from both underground and open
pit. The mine is based on an epithermal gold-silver deposit. Treatment of ore is
on a campaign basis for each ore type (i.e. underground or open pit). Milling is
conventional SAG Mill and Ball Mill grinding circuit followed by carbon in pulp
recovery of gold and silver. All tailing materials are treated through the
Cyanisorb process to reduce cyanide levels prior to being discharged into the
tailings dam.
