Despite health and safety protocols from COVID-19, Wesdome Gold Mines says it's confident it'll hit its full year guidance.
Figures from the Toronto-based miner show more than 42,000 tonnes of ore were milled over the second quarter of the year, bringing the year-to-date amount over 98,000 tonnes - a 65 percent increase over the same period last year, despite a substantial drop in how much was milled from Eagle River during that period.
Gold production was also up, topping 25,000 ounces for the quarter, a twelve percent rise - despite a substantial drop in production from the Mishi Open Pit - with year-to-date production over 50,000 ounces, a 21 percent rise from the same period last year.
That's expected to allow the miner to meet its goal of 90,000-100,000 ounces for the year, especially as it has now resumed operations at its Kiena complex in Quebec.
