Orezone Gold Corporation Reports Record Q3 Gold Production
Orezone Gold Achievements in Q3 2024
Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX: ORE, OTCQX: ORZCF) proudly shares its impressive achievements in gold production for the third quarter of 2024 from the Bomboré Gold Mine. With total gold production reaching 26,581 ounces in this quarter, the company has successfully produced a total of 82,244 ounces year-to-date. This upward trajectory in production demonstrates the mine's robust operations and the company's commitment to optimizing its output.
Financial Performance Highlights
In Q3, Orezone realized gold sales of 27,698 ounces, achieving an impressive average price of US$2,473 per ounce. This strong performance translated into total sales revenues of US$68.5 million for the quarter. The company's financial health remains solid, showcasing a cash balance of US$66.9 million while managing a senior debt of US$68.1 million. This prudent financial management included a successful repayment of US$5.0 million in principal during the quarter, reaffirming Orezone's strategic fiscal responsibility.
Operational Insights
Patrick Downey, President & CEO of Orezone, commented on the company’s position, noting, "Q3 not only marked a strong operation at Bomboré but also set a record for processing 1.5 million ore tonnes. Our successes were remarkable, particularly in accessing higher-grade, free-digging Siga Zone oxides in the south. Unfortunately, processing from this new area faced delays due to heavy rains and maintenance issues, including a four-day shutdown for a full ball mill reline at the end of September."
Looking Ahead: Optimism for Q4
With the rainy season concluding and the completion of scheduled mill maintenance, Orezone anticipates a stronger performance in Q4, with expectations of increased ore contributions from the Siga Zone. The company is on course to achieve the midpoint of its 2024 production guidance, targeting production between 110,000 and 125,000 ounces. Early indicators from October show a strong start with gold production reaching 6,331 ounces at a head grade of 0.85 g/t gold.
