PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Gold miner West African Gold has announced a record gold production of 81 960 oz for the three months to September, with full year gold production now expected to exceed 280 000 oz.

The September quarter production was higher than the 73 264 oz produced from the Sanbrado operation, in Burkina Faso, during the June quarter of this year, as openpit production increased by 72%, driven largely by grade from the M1 South orebody.

“The Sanbrado mine completed a further milestone with the record quarter of 81 960 oz of gold produced, bringing the year to date production to 201 400 oz of gold,” said executive chairperson and CEO Richard Hyde.

Gold production for the December quarter is expected to be higher, with West African now expecting full year guidance to be between 250 000 oz and 280 000 oz of gold.
