St Andrew Goldfields (TSE:SAS) continues to perform very strongly with the Holt, Holloway and Hislop Mines forecast to produce 65,000 to 75,000 ounces of gold for the current calendar year, and an increase to around 100,000 ounces in 2012.

St Andrew Goldfields (TSE:SAS) said Monday that third quarter profit nearly doubled as the junior miner saw record gold production from its three operations in northeastern Ontario, at lower overall cash costs.

The conceptual potential of this whole area, both along strike and at depth, may rise into multi million ounces of gold and will be tested by ongoing drilling programs. This should be watched closely.
