Production Guidance Unchanged Following Minor Wall Slip
Emerald Resources NL (ASX: EMR) wishes to advise that there has been a minor wall slip at the Company’s 100% owned Okvau Gold Mine in Cambodia.
A small pit wall wedge failure occurred in the southwest of the Okvau open cut pit, affecting the access ramp at a relatively shallow depth. This area was already scheduled for a cutback in an updated mine plan. However the slip has necessitated advancing part of this work. Access to the pit is expected to be impacted for the next 21 days. There were no injuries or equipment damage and the affected area was secured without delay.
In the interim, ore will be sourced from existing stockpiles, ensuring that the quarterly production guidance of 25-30koz gold remains unaffected, with the grade maintained at approximately 2.0g/t. The AISC for the quarter may exceed the range of US$810880/oz due to increased waste mining in the cutback. However this will be offset at a future date by a commensurate reduction in earthmoving.
This ASX release was authorised on behalf of the Emerald Board by: Morgan Hart, Managing Director.
