Production reached a record as a result of a significant increase in run-of-mine tonnes hoisted and processed 
(up 22% and 23% respectively compared to Q2 2010), and an increase in concentrator recovery to 81%. 
 
The focus for the third quarter was mainly on quality of mining whilst replacing previously terminated 
contractor crews. A revised sweeping standard, together with the higher stoping units and on-reef development, 
contributed positively to the 22% increase of run-of-mine tonnes hoisted. Off-reef development also increased 
by 3% compared to Q2 2010. 
 
Chrome sold also increased to a quarterly record of 100,023 tonnes in Q3 2010, up 30% over Q2 2010. 
 
Mine development at Crocette has continued during the quarter. 
 
"CRM's record quarter was a result of our operations becoming more streamlined, as evidenced by increased 
tonnages and improved concentrator recoveries. We look forward to further production increases, as well as 
production from Crocette, which we expect will come on stream and contribute ounces within the next 12 months," 
said Ian Rozier. 
 
The qualified person having reviewed the operating results presented in this press release is Mr. Brian 
Montpellier, P. Eng, V.P. Project Development. 
 
Eastplats will release its full third quarter results on Monday, November 15, 2010.
