Centamin announced that its 2018 full-year production from the Sukari gold mine was 472.4k ounces, marking a 13% y-o-y decrease, according to a company statement. The company had initially held a target of 580k ounces in 2018 but adjusted the figure following operational challenges it faced during 1H2018, such as lower grades being delivered. “We look forward to 2019, where the focus remains on ensuring delivery of grade and as such gold production from Sukari, supported by tight cost control across all areas of the organisation and returns for our shareholders,” CEO Andrew Pardey commented.
