Ghana: Edikan mine’s output records highest peak since 2012
Thursday, 01 February 2018 08:02
Perseus Mining announced Tuesday that it has produced overall 208,226 oz at its Edikan mine (in Ghana) in 2017. This figure is the largest annual output ever reached since commercial production started in 2012.
This good performance was spurred by a 76% year-on-year increase to 56,699 oz of production at the end of Q3, 2017. The operational cost per once was $998 and overall cost was $1, 093, down 41% compared to the same period in 2016.
The company expects an output increase, for both 2018 season (ending in June) and the calendar year (January from December). To achieve its goals, it counts on the entry in production of its Sissingue mine (Côte d’Ivoire) announced on Monday.
