During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the net cash used for operating activities was $2.0 million, which consisted largely of permitting and technical expenses associated with increased activities at the Montanore Project site. The net cash used in investing activities during the quarter was $0.1 million, for construction in progress.
We are taking steps to reduce activity levels, including capital expenditures, until the timing of the Record of Decision becomes more clear. We anticipate expenditures of approximately $9.0 million the final three quarters of 2009, which will consist of $1.5 million per quarter for general and administrative expenses and $4.5 million for ongoing expense of preparation for the delineation drilling program and addition mine scoping studies. Given our current cash position of
$17.9 million on March 31, 2009, we will require approximately $10.0 million of external financing in 2010 to fund the final phases of the advanced exploration program and delineation drilling program and completion of a bankable feasibility study. The Company will investigate financing opportunities and options from equity and debt financing during the current year.
