Canada-based Endeavour Mining boosted its production by 6% to 651 000 oz last year and although the company met its guidance, it was at the bottom-end of the 650 000 oz to 695 000 oz range.
The Africa-focused mining company explained that it experienced a slower-than-planned ramp-up at the newly commissioned Bouéré higher grade deposit at Houndé, in Burkina Faso, owing to a severe rainy season in third quarter.
