At September 30, 2011, inventory awaiting sale was an additional 2,460 ounces of gold, which will be included in October 2011 sales.

New Dawn is a Zimbabwe-focused junior gold company that is currently expanding its consolidated annualized gold production to 60,000 ounces by the end of 2012. New Dawn targets further increasing annualized gold production to 100,000 ounces by the end of 2014. 

New Dawn owns 100% of the Turk/Angelus Mine Complex, the Old Nic Mine and the Camperdown Mine. In addition, New Dawn has an approximately 85% equity interest in the Dalny, Golden Quarry and Venice Mines, and a large portfolio of prospective exploration acreage in Zimbabwe. These six mines, five of which are now operational, are divided into three significant gold camps, and the Company is in the process of expanding production at these sites. All properties and exploration projects are located in Zimbabwe.

In addition to gold production, New Dawn is also actively exploring on highly prospective ground employing modern exploration techniques and deploying capital in Zimbabwe, a country that is proven to be geologically rich, highly prospective, and significantly under explored.

New Dawn, with its large gold resource, existing production facilities and current exploration efforts, is well on the path to becoming a mid-tier gold mining company in Zimbabwe, active in both gold production and gold exploration.
