Kibali on track to meet FY guidance despite sequencing headaches

Africa-focused miner Randgold Resources remains on track to meet the 600 000-oz-plus guidance for its Kibali mine, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), despite experiencing some sequencing difficulties at the mill. According to CEO Mark Bristow, the company had resolved certain expected challenges regarding the complexity of dealing with multiple ore types from different sources, which negatively impacted throughput, recovery and grade in the first half of the year.
