Highlights for the third quarter of 2019

 

  • INCREASE IN GOLD PRODUCTION OF 19%

  • Higher processed grade (1.05 g/t Au vs97 g/t Au in Q3 2018); and
  • Improvement in the recovery rate (87.7% vs3%) despite the increase in production and therefore the decrease in retention time in the CIL.

  • INCREASE IN OPERATING INCOME OF 22%

A word from the President Mr. Georges Cohen:

“Beyond the improved results due to the price of gold, it is interesting to note that all production parameters (tonnage, grade, recovery, availability, production cost per ounce of gold, etc.) have all improved significantly, thus contributing in a sustainable and structural way to the company’s performance. These results were obtained through efforts focused on the mine’s process and organization. I congratulate the teams who contributed to this fundamental work.

“Mindful of the recent dramatic events that have struck some mines in West Africa, we have further strengthened our procedures and means of protecting property and people.”
