20.01.2014 | Marketwired
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired - Jan 20, 2014) - Amara Mining plc (TSX: AMZ) (AIM: AMA), the AIM-listed West African focused gold mining company, is pleased to announce the production results for its Kalsaka/Sega Gold Mine ("Kalsaka/Sega") in Burkina Faso.Highlights
- Full year production of 42,348 ounces at Kalsaka/Sega
- 86% increase in production to 14,926 ounces in Q4 2013 compared to previous quarter (Q3: 8,008 ounces) as higher grade material from Sega is realised
- Robust financial position -- cash and liquid assets of US$20.0 million at year end
- 2014 production guidance from Kalsaka/Sega of 60,000-70,000 ounces
Peter Spivey, Chief Executive Officer of Amara, commented:
"2013 was a challenging year for the gold sector and it's testament to our exploration, operational and corporate teams that we delivered all three of our key targets: the successful integration of Kalsaka and Sega, the completion of the Baomahun Feasibility Study and the delivery of a Mineral Resource update (six million ounces) for Yaoure. We are pleased to begin the New Year by announcing that our revised FY2013 production guidance has been exceeded, despite the lower grades we encountered as Kalsaka reached the end of its life and the delay in commencing production from Sega, and we look ahead to continued stronger production in 2014 as a result of the higher grade Sega material."
