First Half 2024 production update
AltynGold is pleased to announce its 1H24 production update.
Revenues for 1H24 increased 37% YoY to US$38.0m primarily on stronger sales which expanded 21% YoY to 17,247oz (1H2023: 14,284oz). The average selling price also increased 14% YoY to $2,203/oz (1H23: US$1,939/oz) in line with positive momentum in gold price globally.
Production volumes in 1H24 were broadly maintained while the processing plant upgrade is being finalised (completion expected in 3Q24). Compared to 1Q24, volume growth was strong with mined and milled ore up 16% and 15% QoQ from 154,8kt and 129.7kt respectively.
Gold grade increased to 2.30g/t. The improvement is driven by positive mix effect from accumulated stock piles as well as grade recovery from underlying operations which increased to 2.15g/t from 1.94g/t in 1H23 and 2.08g/t in 1Q24. Grade improvement and higher recovery rate resulted in 20% YoY growth in gold poured to 17,413/oz.
