Resolute Mining Limited announced production results for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the period, the company reported production from the Syama sulphide circuit was 70,680oz at an AISC of $1,307/oz. Gold production from the sulphide circuit increased by 25% compared to six months ended June 30, 2021. The improvement in first half gold production is driven by record levels of processing and roaster throughput achieved in the year to date. This was offset by lower processed grade coinciding with an increase in ore mined (drawn) from the sub-level cave. The grade reduction is expected to be temporary and reflect the location of the current draw points. During first half of 2021, production from the Syama oxide operations was 28,932oz at an AISC of $1,379/oz. Oxide ore mining continued at the Cashew open pit south of Syama with ore supplied being a combination of run of mine material from Cashew and low-grade stockpiles. Mining commenced towards the end of the half at Tabakoroni where an extension to the previously mined Splay pit is now underway and will be the principal ore source for the remainder of 2021. During first half of 2021, production from Mako was 63,506oz at an AISC of $1,064/oz. Mako continued to perform to plan, with production lower in accordance with expectations as a cut-back of the main pit is currently being undertaken. This will provide access to deeper sections of the deposit in line with the updated Life of Mine Plan.
