September 30, 2009
. All amounts in this news release are in

dollars, unless otherwise stated.
For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009
, the Company reported a net loss of
$11.7 million
and
$24.6 million
, respectively, as the Company remained shutdown for the third quarter and only had a limited number of operating days during the rest of the year. This shutdown was a result of not meeting the
May 30
deadline for completing the mercury emissions control system due to delays in receiving key components and operational issues at the mill. The Company subsequently took possession of the mill and completed the required system in July. During the quarter the Company has also made significant enhancements to the mill at Jerritt Canyon which will result in higher production results in the future.
Subsequent to quarter end, on
October 20
, the Company resumed operations with the signing of the consent decree. With the commencement of milling the Company is exploring opportunities to expand the stockpiles on hand, recommence toll milling, and return to mining in the near future.
In the third quarter at Ketza River in the Yukon, the Company continued compiling data and completing core sampling. A geophysical survey was also completed in the area on three, four kilometer lines, identifying a target on the Shamrock zone at a greater depth than previous drilling programs carried out and also identifying a new target in an area not previously explored.
Details of the Company's financial results are described in the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and management's discussion and analysis, which will be available on the Company's website, www.yukon-nevadagold.com and on SEDAR, www.sedar.com.
