The miner has reported combined gold production from all operations for the full year to 30 June 2013 at approximately 400,000 ounces compared to expected value of 435,000 ounces.

The gold production is about 380,000 ounces for the financial year which can be attributed to Simberi mines.

St Barbara expects to have lower gold production from Gold Ridge in the December 2012 quarter than the September 2012 quarter, but they are also expectant of an improvement in the third and fourth quarters of financial year 2013.
