Pan African confident of meeting upper end of full-year production guidance

South African gold producer Pan African Resources has revised its full-year production guidance to between 186 000 oz and 190 000 oz, compared with previous guidance of 180 000 oz to 190 000 oz, while maintaining its all-in sustaining cost guidance at between $1 325/oz and $1 350/oz. In an update to shareholders about the group's production expectations for the full financial year to end June 30, it says it ceased processing of marginal surface sources at Evander Gold Mines during the second half of the financial year, as the processing of this material was becoming uneconomical.
