The achievement of steady-state commercial production at its King of the Hills operations has lifted Dec qtr (Q2FY23) gold production by West Australian miner Red 5 to 36,260oz, up from 24,049oz in the previous period. Red 5 will report AISC for KOTH from the March qtr.
Forecast H2FY2023 production is 90,000-105,000oz at AISC of $A1,750-1,950/oz.
MD Mark Williams says mining has reached the main contact zone between the granodiorite and ultramafic rock in the openpit at KOTH, accessing the majority of gold mineralisation and demonstrating positive reconciliation of ore volume and grades.
