Perseus Mining (ASX: PRU, TSX: PRU) has missed production guidance by a whisker at its Edikan Gold Mine in Ghana, with the company pouring 104,329 gold ounces for the first half of 2013, compared to the production guidance range of 105,000 to 125,000 ounces.
Last month in an update the company said that the predicted all-in cash cost for the Half Year ending 30 June 2013 is likely to exceed the forecast of US$1,100 per ounce.
For the full financial year of 2013, Perseus produced 208,029 ounces.
Perseus said that following record production in the March 2013 quarter, the June 2013 quarter began slowly as the company sought to identify the optimum balance between throughput rate and gold recovery.
By the end of June 2013, production was closing in on targets.
