West African producer Endeavour Mining has achieved its 10th consecutive year of achieving or beating guidance, producing 1.4Moz gold at AISC of about $US928/oz for FY2022.
The result compares with 1.436Moz at $882/oz a year earlier and its guidance of 1.32-1.4Moz at $880-930/oz.
President-CEO Sebastien de Montessus says its strong production performance and optimisation initiatives kept its costs on guidance despite the industry-wide inflationary pressures. Endeavour ended the year with net cash of $121M ($76M).
Endeavour forecasts FY2023 production of 1.33-1.43Moz at $940-995/oz.
