Canadian international miner Yamana Gold continues to generate strong cashflows ahead of its planned $US6.7B acquisition by Gold Fields, lifting its cash balance to over $C328M at the end of the June qtr (Q2FY2022) from $298M three months earlier.
Yamana's Q2 production was 260,960oz gold equivalent (Q1: 238,617oz), comprising 232,542oz gold (210,533oz) and 2,356,853oz silver (2,198,6769oz). AISC is expected to be below $US1,090/oz.
With Yamana shareholders due to vote on the deal in H2 2022, Gold Fields CEO Chris Griffith says the takeover can accelerate its next phase of growth by unlocking the full potential of the company’s world-class assets.
