Record June quarter performance has helped West Australian gold miner Regis Resources deliver its best production result of 437,300oz for the year to end-June, up from 372,870oz a year earlier and within its full year guidance of 420,000-475,000oz.
Q4 production totalled 123,901oz, from 103,100oz in the March qtr. The Duketon mine posted 92,800oz (74,800oz) and its 30%-owned AngloGold Ashanti lifted to 31,100oz (28,300oz).
Regis says inflationary pressures point to costs for the year slightly above its AISC guidance of $1,425-1,500/oz.
MD Jim Beyer says Regis is set for increased annual gold production in the coming year.
