Caledonia however maintains its 2019 full year production guidance of 50,000 to 53,000 ounces and remains on track with progress towards its target of 80,000 ounces by 2022.

Chief executive Steve Curtis said production in the third quarter of 2019 was slightly below target but showed steady growth in production on the previous two quarters.

“Production in the quarter had a difficult start due to significant interruptions in the supply of electricity in July and early August although the electricity situation improved substantially later in the quarter. Caledonia remains on track to achieve our guidance of 50,000 to 53,000 ounces for the full year.”

“We are very pleased to have completed the shaft sinking phase of the central shaft project during the quarter, a significant milestone for our business. The shaft has now entered the equipping phase of the project which we expect to be completed in mid-2020,” said Curtis.

He further noted that the mining company is looking forward to commencing production from the central shaft during the second half of 2020 which is expected to deliver the company’s growth plan to achieve 75,000 ounces in 2021 and 80,000 ounces by 2022.
