Gold Fields Cuts Quarterly Production Target
By Michael Susin
Gold Fields said production for the first quarter is expected to be lower than expected due to the impact of operational challenges at the South Deep mine in South Africa and weather-related events in Australia and Peru.
The South African gold-mining company on Tuesday said that attributable gold equivalent production for the quarter--excluding Asanko operations--is expected to be between 460,000 ounces and 470,000 ounces.
The company said operations at South Deep were impacted by a fatal accident on Jan. 2, and reduced access. The group expects production in the mine to be between 57,400 ounces and 58,000 ounces.
However, the group backed its 2024 guidance as it sees gold equivalent production of between 2.33 million ounces and 2.43 million ounces, and all-in sustaining costs between $1,410 and $1,460 per ounce.
Gold Fields added that it has started production at the Salares Norte project in northern Chile with the delivery of the first gold on March 28.
