The company also processed 1.5 million tonnes of ore at a gold feed grade of 1.1 g/t. This is a slight decrease from Q1 2021’s performance when the plant milled 1.4 million tonnes of ore at 1.4 g/t gold feed grade. The gold recovery rate for the quarter also dipped to 94% from last quarter’s 95%.
The gold producer relayed that the decrease in production can be attributed to the mill feed for the quarter being primarily sourced from the Esaase Main pit. The company is optimistic that results would be favorable once the Akwasiso pit is brought back to the production.
The Asanko Gold mine is a 50-50 joint venture of Galiano Gold with Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI), which is also managed by the company.
Galiano Gold last traded at $1.29 on the TSX.
