The Company projection for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2009 remains 8 million tonnes of aggregate. The Company is currently operating during its busiest period, as aggregate delivery increases in the third and fourth quarters, with the fourth quarter being the most active.
President Dom Kriangkum states: "Currently, there are 8 gravel crushing plants, 3 sand and gravel washing plants and 1 asphalt plant operating in the Susan Lake Gravel Pit as the contractors are trying to meet their construction deadlines prior to winter. Our three scales are operating at full capacity weighing trucks prior to delivery to projects. We expect that the activities will continue well past November."
The Company is also announcing that progress continues to be made on its proposed acquisition of a 25% interest in the T-ROC pit to pier aggregate project located in Washington State, US. The Company has collected all information required for a NI 43-101 technical report, and expects to finalize in the fourth quarter.
