via Kitco - Real-Time $CAD Gold

Friday's close will be very important to the settlement of the gold commitment, if it hasn't already been concluded.

Today is options expiry, when it normally concludes on the last Tuesday of the month.

I suspect that the mill shut-down, presumably in February was due to the gold being on hand, and that the company does not want to report production over and above this level.

They may very well have continued to escrow production in the meanwhile.
