For the period January 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007, gold and copper production and sales for the Amapari Mine and the Peak Mines are presented below.

Note: This table includes results for the period prior to the acquisition of the Amapari Mine and the Peak Mines on April 3rd and April 27th, respectively.

Peak Mines

Production for this quarter at the Peak Mines in Australia was 31,703 ounces of gold and 1,932,000 pounds of copper. Mill throughput was an operational record this quarter at 182,835 tonnes and reflects improved underground production and increased milling capacity. Total cash costs for the quarter were $176 per ounce which reflects consistent copper concentrate sales and continued cost containment despite a strengthening Australian dollar.

The development of the surface decline connection to the underground workings at the Peak Mines is on schedule and expected to be completed in December 2007. This decline is expected to provide increased reliability of production, enable cost savings and improve access to additional ore reserves.

Amapari Mine

Gold production for this quarter at the Amapari Mine in Brazil has increased to 22,200 ounces from 17,300 over the same period in the prior year. The higher gold production is a result of higher gold grades combined with improved grade control. This quarter was a record for ore processed with 519,400 tonnes. Gold recovery was adversely affected by increased saprolite content on the heaps and heavy rain occurrences during heap formation. Total cash costs for the quarter decreased to $491 per ounce from $539 per ounce over the same period in the prior year due mainly to higher production, cost savings during the quarter, and the inclusion in inventory of gold in solution. However, the cost savings achieved during the quarter were partially offset by the strengthening of the Brazilian currency (real).

�Peak Gold is continuing to work on improving recoveries of the oxides and efficiency of its mining operations at Amapari,� said President and Chief Executive Officer, Julio Carvalho.

Peak Gold filed an independent technical report on November 15, 2007 for its Amapari Mine in Brazil. The Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve Estimate as of September 30, 2007 is 3.806 million tonnes at 2.47 grams of gold per tonne or 302,100 contained ounces of gold. The Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate (inclusive of reserves) as of September 30, 2007 is 14.237 million tonnes at 2.29 grams of gold per tonne or 1.047 million contained ounces of gold. The Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate as of September 30, 2007 increased to 13.039 million tonnes at 3.22 grams of gold per tonne or 1.351 million contained ounces of gold compared to 1.92 million tonnes at 2.47 grams of gold per tonne or 152,000 contained ounces of gold estimated as of December 31, 2006.

�During this quarter we continued to evaluate mining assets for potential acquisitions. We remain confident that we will deliver on our growth strategy and increase production via acquisitions,� said President and Chief Executive Officer Julio Carvalho.
