Norseman third quarter gold production slightly down, sees high costs easing
AIM-listed Australian group Norseman Gold PLC said operations have continued to produce gold at average production levels for the quarter to end-September 2008. Cash costs per ounce have increased due to higher input costs, but they are expected to ease in the current quarter.
Total production for the quarter reached 19,007 oz from 110,556 tonnes treated, down from 21,116 oz produced in the quarter to end-June.
Norseman said the decrease was due to lower than anticipated gold grades within the airleg stopes. Overall, the gold grade was down 19 percent however this was partially countered by an increase in throughput of 10 percent.
Since the end of the quarter, miners have been moved to higher grade stopes and the current mine plan envisages an improving trend in the current quarter to be in line with the average grades achieved in the March and June quarters.
Regional exploration drilling continued on schedule with drilling continuing at the Lady Miller and the North Royal open pit prospects. Resource optimisation is currently being undertaken on a number of resource prospects.
