St. Barbara’s Gold Production Challenges and Future Outlook

St. Barbara Ltd. ( (AU:SBM) ) has provided an announcement.

St. Barbara Limited reported a challenging December 2024 quarter with gold sales of 11,712 ounces at A$4,116 per ounce and production totaling 10,262 ounces, falling short of expectations due to operational issues at the Simberi site. Despite the lower production figures, the company maintains its annual production guidance, though at the lower end of the range, and anticipates improved output in the second half of the fiscal year with the installation of new equipment and enhancements in operational efficiency. The announcement of a new oxide discovery at Pigibo North signals potential future growth, though its immediate production impact remains undetermined.
