Financial Results
Net income attributable to shareholders of the Company for the quarter was $19.8 million (or $0.03 per share), compared with $36.4 million (or $0.05 per share) in the third quarter of 2013. Net income was impacted by a non-cash $7.6 million iron ore inventory write-down related to Vila Nova. Gold revenues of $241.2 million were nine percent lower year over year due to lower gold prices and ounces sold. Gross profit from gold mining operations was seventeen percent lower than that of the third quarter of 2013 reflecting lower profit margins and sales volumes. Total cash cost per ounce increased three percent year over year. Adjusted net earnings were $36.1 million or $0.05 per share compared with $54.4 million or $0.08 per share in the third quarter of 2013.
Exploration expenses fell $6.4 million year over year reflecting changes in the Company's exploration program in response to lower gold prices. The Company reported a foreign exchange loss of $4.5 million for the quarter as compared to a gain of $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 mainly as a result of the impact on cash deposits of the weakening of the Canadian, Brazilian and Turkish currencies against the US dollar. Interest and financing costs fell $2.9 million year over year, reflecting an increase in capitalization of interest on the Company's Greek development projects.
The effective tax rate for the quarter was sixty-four percent as compared to a rate of fifty percent in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate year over year was due to the impact of the fall in the Turkish lira on the deferred tax balances of the Company's Turkish entity as well as an increase in the percentage of unrecognized tax losses due to lower profits.

Development Project Update
Kisladag Mine Expansion
During the third quarter work began at Kisladag on the engineering of an additional 7.5 million tonne per annum (Mtpa) crushing/screening circuit and its integration with the new gyratory crusher station. Work also began on the design of a new stockpile facility to provide feed to the existing crushing/screening circuit as well as the additional 7.5 Mtpa circuit. Total capacity for crushed ore will be raised to 20 Mtpa as per the expansion plan approved during the second quarter. Work continued during the quarter on upgrading the overland conveyor and stacking system that feeds the leach pad to handle the additional crushed throughput. Capital spending totaled $6.8 million during the quarter.
Skouries
The mill foundations at Skouries were completed during the quarter. These include the semi-autogenous grind (SAG) mill, ball mill, and the regrind mills. A key milestone of the project was also achieved, with the transportation to site, and start of installation, of the SAG and ball mill shells. Placement of the mills is scheduled to be completed during the fourth quarter. During the quarter the project received approval of the technical study for the construction of the first tailings dam which has allowed construction work to start in the fourth quarter. Piling also commenced in the flotation building area. During the quarter, pit preparation work continued with the removal of topsoil and overburden from the open pit. The pit work will increase during the fourth quarter as waste material is mined for construction of the tailings dam facility. The procurement process for the open pit mining contractor also began during the quarter with a site visit by potential bidders on the contract.
Progress continued on the underground decline with the advancement rate improving. Capital spending totaled $35.4 million during the quarter.
Olympias
A total of 137,566 tonnes of tailings were reprocessed during the quarter at a grade of 2.69 grams per tonne and a total of 4,772 payable ounces of gold in concentrate were produced. Cash proceeds from the sale of concentrate generated $6.5 million during the quarter on 5,393 ounces of gold in concentrate. Capital spending totalled $27.9 million during the quarter including: $8.4 million related to tailings reprocessing, production royalties and transportation and selling costs; $2.2 million related to capitalized interest; and the remainder on mine development as well as Phase II engineering.
Plans for transitioning the plant operation from Phase l tailings retreatment to Phase II processing of underground ore continued to be studied during the quarter. The plans are based on upgrading the existing plant facilities to handle a throughput of up to 650,000 tonnes per year of ore to produce gold, lead/silver and zinc concentrates.
Perama Hill
Preliminary engineering was complete with the final front end engineering design report received during the quarter. The Company continues to work with Greek government authorities to facilitate approval of the environmental impact assessment (EIA). Capital spending totaled $1.6 million during the quarter.
Certej
During the quarter the feasibility study commenced in order to optimize the expanded resource and improve the metallurgical design. Construction permits were obtained for the 2014 site works program allowing mobilization of the site earthworks contractor to begin rough grading of the south plant site and construction of the pilot water treatment plant. Capital spending totaled $3.6 million during the quarter.
Tocantinzinho
During the quarter work continued on optimization of the Tocantinzinho feasibility study. Following a review of the geological model, which updated the overall tonnes and grade in the deposit, a rework of the mine design and plant throughput has been incorporated into the ongoing optimization analysis. Construction on a portion of the recently approved forest road began, which will allow 4x4 access in the dry season. Capital spending totaled $1.2 million during the quarter.
Eastern Dragon
The Eastern Dragon site continued under care and maintenance during the quarter with permitting activities ongoing. The Company was informed that the approval process for the project EIA is to be conducted by the Heilongjiang Provincial Environment Protection Bureau, an interim step to approval of the Project Permit Approval (PPA) by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). Site personnel continued to provide support to the permitting team, particularly at the local and provincial level.

During the third quarter, a total of 19,000 metres of exploration drilling were completed at the Company's mine sites, development projects, and exploration projects.
Greece
In the Halkidiki District, a 6,000 metre drilling program continued during the quarter at the Piavitsa deposit, which is located 2 kilometres west of the Stratoni project. This program consists largely of infill drillholes, designed to confirm the continuity of mineralization delineated in widely-spaced drillholes drilled during 2012 and 2013. Results to date showed grades and thicknesses in general agreement with the resource model.
At the Stratoni mine, step-out drilling targeted the western and down-dip extensions of the orebody. The best results were obtained from just below the current production levels where thick massive sulfide intercepts indicate down-dip continuity of the orebody.
In the Perama and Sapes district, exploration activities during the quarter focused on updating the geological model for the Sapes deposit for the purposes of refining the resource model and identifying exploration drilling targets.
Romania
In the Certej project area, exploration drilling during the quarter tested satellite targets at Magura and Bocsa, both of which were sites of historical underground exploration. No significant results were obtained from the first three drillholes on these targets. These prospects will be further tested during the fourth quarter, upon receipt of required drilling permits.
At Muncel, located 15 kilometres southwest of Certej, the final three drillholes of the first phase of exploration drilling were completed. One of these drillholes was abandoned after intersecting underground workings, while the other two cut zones of sulfide stringer veinlets.
The Certej deposit is currently the subject of a detailed geological reinterpretation program, which will be completed in the fourth quarter with updated deposit geology and resource models.
Turkey
Exploration drilling during the quarter in Turkey was limited to the Efemcukuru project, where 2,900 metres of drilling tested the Dedebag vein system and segments of the Kokarpinar vein. The best results were obtained from the central and northern portions of the Kokarpinar vein, where sulfide-rich rhodochrosite vein intercepts of several metres in width were obtained.
Reconnaissance exploration activities included mapping and sampling of volcanic centres in the greater Kisladag region to evaluate potential for buried porphyry systems, and evaluations of regional prospects in the northern part of the country.
China
At Tanjianshan, drilling programs were completed at the Dushugou prospect and at the Qinlongtan (QLT) deposit. At QLT, drilling confirmed the continuity of the QLT Northwest zone in the previously untested gap between the 2013 drillholes and the QLT open pit.
Exploration drilling at the White Mountain mine (4,700 metres completed) tested step-outs along-strike and down-plunge from the ore body. Mining grades and thicknesses were confirmed in five separate areas, with highest grades encountered in the North and North Deep ore zones. Surface drilling of the North Deep zone also commenced during the quarter.
Brazil
Exploration drilling during the quarter in Brazil tested two projects in the Tapajos region. At the Ruben Zilio project, located along strike southeast of Tocantinzinho, soil geochemical anomalies were tested in thr...ee target areas; none of this drilling identified significant mineralization. At Tocantinzinho, additional sampling extended the Cu-Mo-Au mineralization over a 6 km trend. Four drillholes tested different areas of this anomaly, and all encountered intervals of quartz and sulfide vein mineralization.
