There's more to it, but the point is everyone is happy, and that bodes well for the mining company going forward.

Full production capacity is expected to be reached in 2011, and estimates of 500,000 gold equivalent ounces to be mined annually by 2014, with gold ounces expected to come in at about 300,000.
