$15 million in work to expand the processing plant facilities at the Chirano Gold Mine in Ghana, West Aftrica. Work began in January 2009 and is set to be completed in September 2009. Forge said its forward-order book continues to, at a minimum, support previously announced earnings and revenue guidance for the year ending June 2009. Furthermore, given the contract completion dates of the Pipeline and Pluto projects, Forge remains confident of entering the 2009-10 financial year with a strong order base that will underwrite future earnings and revenue.
