Production in the quarter rose 67 per cent to a record 140,377 ounces at a total cash cost of $181 per ounce.

Revenues in the final quarter of 2005 more than doubled to $70.7 million.

"Contrary to the prevailing gold industry trend, our cost profile is expected to decline significantly in the year ahead, while our gold production is projected to increase by more than 50 per cent over the same period," Glamis Gold CEO Kevin McArthur said in a release.
