Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. TSX, NYSE: KL; ASX: KLA says the company
is on track to exceed full-year guidance of
650,000 to 670,000 gold ounces, helped in large part by output at
the Fosterville Mine that is headed for record quarterly production
in the fourth quarter.
Full-year 2018 production at the mine is now expected to
exceed 330,000 ounces, which is above current guidance of 300,000 to
310,000 ounces, Kirkland Lake says.
“Fosterville is clearly firing on all cylinders heading towards the
end of the year, with Q4 2018 production on track to easily beat the
current production record of 90,618 ounces, achieved last quarter,”
says Tony Makuch, president and chief executive officer.
“We continue to see significant grade outperformance from stopes in
both the Swan and Eagle zones.
We have also benefited from higher-than-expected grades when processing
development tonnes taken from around the Swan Zone and have been able
to add two Swan stopes to the Q4 2018 production plan based on
development meters completed.”
Higher-than-planned grades are expected to favorably impact production
levels in both 2019 and 2020, the CEO adds.
