Despite some ‘positive wins’ in Q2, Asanko lowers 2017 guidance

While production at Asanko Gold’s Ghana-based operations was lower in the second quarter of 2017 compared with the first quarter, the second quarter did see some “positive wins” for the Canadian junior miner, according to CEO Peter Breese.  He noted that the company had reduced its all-in sustaining costs (AISC) to $930/oz from $956/pz quarter-on-quarter, owing to decreases in mining costs and sustaining capital.
