Offshore Units Make Up Fall in DRDGold's Local Output

CAPE TOWN (Business Day) -- Production declined in the December quarter at almost all the South African and Australasian mines in which DRDGold [Nasdaq:DROOY] has an interest because of yield variations and operational issues, the group said yesterday.

But the group’s overall production was only marginally lower because a change in the shareholding structure for ERPM and Crown Gold Recoveries meant that DRDGold accounted for all production as opposed to only a 40% attributable portion previously.
