Alacer tumbles on weak Çöpler performance

A delay in accessing the planned oxide ore from the Marble pit at Alacer Gold’s Çöpler gold mine, in Turkey, has resulted in lower-than-planned gold output during the third quarter. The ASX- and TSX-listed midtier gold producer said Wednesday that localised pit wall instability had to be fixed before mining of the oxide ore resource could start and successfully ramp up in October.
