Improved Dec qtr (Q2FY23) performance in which Australian international miner Evolution lifted its production to 166,404oz gold (Q1: 161,098oz) and 15,483t copper (14,469t) has kept it on track for its full year guidance. AISC also improved to $A1,099/oz ($1,513/oz).
The company notes it is still reliant on improved H2 performance to achieve its unchanged FY23 guidance of 720,000oz at $1,240/oz.
CEO-MD Lawrie Conway, who credits its focus on operating and capital costs, says the result reinforces Evolution’s position as one of the lowest-cost, highest-margin global gold producers.
