Canadian miner Detour Gold is tracking well to achieve its guidance for 2019, following what COO Frazer Bourchier says has been “by far the best performing first quarter” since the start of operations six years ago.
The Detour Lake mine, in Ontario, delivered a mill throughput of 5.2-million tonnes, which was on plan, despite the cold winter conditions. Head grade averaged 1 g/t, with recoveries improving to 92.2%.
