Delay forces adjustment of Gruyere output

Gold production expectations from the Gruyere joint venture (JV), in Western Australia, have been downgraded for the 2019 calendar year, on the back of a delay to the completion of the plant construction and commissioning.

JV partners Gold Road Resources and Gold Fields on Wednesday reported that first gold production from Gruyere was still on track for the June quarter; however, full-year production guidance has now been amended from between 100 000 oz and 120 000 oz, to between 75 000 oz and 100 000 oz for 2019.
