The feasibility study confirmed increased measured and indicated gold resources of 835,000 ounces, which will now be incorporated in the calculation of the reserves for the study expected by end March 2005.

The Bulgarian project of the company is to start drilling in the end of 2006. Dundee Precious Metals will invest some USD 45 M and plans to hire nearly 300 people.
