Dual-listed DRDGold’s output increased by 5% quarter-on-quarter to 48 001 oz for the quarter ended September 30, primarily owing to a 4% increase in tonnage throughput at Far West Gold Recoveries (FWGR), which achieved the planned throughput of 500 000 t a month from Phase 1. FWGR also successfully started operating its mills at the start of September, which resulted in a 3% and 2% decrease in cash operating cost per kilogram of gold sold and cash operating cost per ton of material processed, respectively.
