Teranga Gold meldet Ergebnisse für Q3/18
Operating and financial highlights:
- Record third quarter and year-to-date gold production at Sabodala was 56,376 and 185,788 ounces, respectively. The company is on track to achieve full-year 2018 production of between 235,000 and 240,000 ounces, an increase from the company's original guidance of between 210,000 and 225,000 ounces.
- Year-to-date per-ounce cost metrics* were all lower than the prior-year periods, placing the company on track for the lower end of its full-year per-ounce cost metric guidance ranges, mainly due to higher grades mined and processed.
- Total ounces mined over the last 15-month period ended Sept. 30, 2018, reconciled 26 per cent higher than the reserves models due to solid grade control processes and conservative resource modelling.
- Net profit attributable to shareholders was $7.9-million (seven cents per share) for the third quarter compared with $10.4-million (10 cents per share) in the prior-year period. The decrease in net profit was due to higher income tax expense, higher depreciation expense, a new accounting standard that increases non-cash accretion expense, and higher exploration expense in the current period partially offset by realized and unrealized hedge gains.
- Adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders was $700,000 (one cent per share) for the third quarter compared with $5.2-million (five cents per share) in the prior-year period. The decrease in adjusted net profit was due to higher income tax expense, higher depreciation expense and higher exploration expense in the current period.
