As advised on
While operations at Gwalia had resumed at the time of the earlier announcement, the final production shortfall for the quarter is greater than originally anticipated. The shortfall in production is anticipated to be substantially recovered in Q2 FY21. Full year production guidance for FY21 for Gwalia is maintained at between 175,000 to 190,000 ounces.
The previously announced integrated company-wide transformation project is well underway. Further commentary on the transformation project and operations will be provided in the Q1 September FY21 quarterly report scheduled to be released on
