Avocet Mining plc reported production results for the third quarter and year to date of 2016. For the quarter, the company reported total gold production at Inata of 17,694 ounces at a cash cost of $1,047 per ounce, compared with 17,517 ounces at a cash cost of $1,107 per ounce a year ago. Production in the quarter was lower than in second quarter, as anticipated, as a result of lower recoveries due primarily to the treatment of ore types with a higher preg-robbing index, and the impact of maintenance work on the plant. For the year date, the company reported total gold production at Inata of 59,308 ounces at a cash cost of $954 per ounce.
