Centamin reports drop in Q3 production volumes
- Egypt: Wednesday, October 10 - 2012 at 02:35
Centamin, a gold miner focused on Egypt, has said its production saw a solid year-on-year improvement in in the third quarter, but volumes declined on the preceding three months due to mill works and an employee strike in July. The LSE-listed firm's flagship Sukari gold mine produced 60,922 ounces in the three months to September 30, up 20% over the same period a year earlier, but down by 10% compared with the previous quarter of 2012. Quarterly throughput at the Sukari process plant was 5% higher year-on-year, but 21% down quarter-on-quarter, said Centamin. "Plant availability and productivity was impacted by a scheduled SAG mill reline in September and the illegal strike in July," it said.
