This strong gold production performance is a result of each of the four mines either achieving or exceeding key operating parameters.
Neil Woodyer, CEO, stated
"Agbaou and Nzema are performing above expectations and Tabakoto is now positioned to have a strong second half of 2014 as we are ramping up ore production from the new Segala underground mine. With the solid performance from our mines so far this year, we consider that we will be at the upper end of our 400,000 to 440,000 ounce gold production guidance range for 2014. Cash cost and AISC per ounce will be reported in the Q2 2014 financial results to be released in August. However, it is expected that the AISC per ounce for Q2 2014 will be improved as compared to $1,059/oz in Q1 2014."
