AltynGold shares climb as gold prices and production rise

11th Nov 2024 14:24

(Alliance News) - AltynGold PLC on Monday saw its shares jump as it reported strong third-quarter revenue following increased gold production.

The London-based exploration and development company with assets in Kazakhstan revealed its revenue grew 40% to USD25.1 million from USD17.9 million year-on-year, with the average gold price achieved sitting above USD2,300 per ounce for the period, adding that the price currently sits above USD2,700 per ounce.

Shares in the gold miner were up 19% to 247.75 pence on Monday afternoon in London.

Ore mined throughout its third-quarter rose 11% to 206,199 tonnes from 186,120 the year prior, with contained gold up 12% to 12,347 ounces from 10,986 ounces.

Year-to-date, Altyn revealed equally strong figures, with revenue up 39% to USD63.7 million from USD45.7 million the prior year.

It said the average gold grade mined to-date in 2024 was 2.30 grams a tonne, improving from 2.13 grams a tonne the prior year, with this reflecting the use of higher-grade ore from the ore stockpiles.

Altyn said production for the period remained inline with the firm's existing production plan.

It added that the extensive testing as part of its ongoing processing plant upgrade is currently going to plan, with the increased capacity expected to go live within a month.
