Auriant Mining - Tardan CIL >60% complete

Auriant’s Q318 results were characterised by a resumption of mining at Tardan, with 65kt of ore mined at an average grade of 2.79g/t to produce 96kg (3,087oz) gold during the quarter. As a result, the company expects Tardan to produce 380kg (12,217oz) in FY18, which implies production of 173.8kg (5,588oz) in Q418, 8.6% above its earlier guidance of 350kg (11,252oz). However, heavy rainfall in July led to widespread flooding in the Zabaikalsky region, so production at Solcocon in FY18 is now expected to be 73–75kg (2,347–2,411oz) versus earlier guidance of 150kg (4,823oz). As a result, we have updated our forecasts to reflect revised production guidance as well as a lower gold price in H218 versus H118.
