September Quarter 2017 - Final Report
Overview
The average All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) for Australia and New Zealand was A$1,173/oz down 2.0% (A$23/oz) on the previous quarter
average AISC of A$1,196/oz. Evolution Mining’s part of the Ernest Henry operations was the lowest cost producer reporting an AISC
of A$-614/oz followed by Newcrest’s Cadia Valley operations with an AISC of A$181/oz, then by Evolution’s Mt Carlton (A$429/
oz) and Aurelia Metal’s Hera (A$570/oz). The average spot price for the quarter was A$1,619/oz (US$1,278/oz). It should be noted
that all these low cost operations benefit from significant base metal by-products. Aurum Analytics’ estimate of these operations
AISC on a co-product basis (Co-AISC) is as follows; Ernest Henry Co-AISC of A$588/oz, Cadia Valley Co-AISC of A$674/oz, Mt Carlton
Co-AISC of A$567/oz and Hera Co-AISC of A$1,169/oz. The lowest cost “gold only” operations were Regis Resources’ Duketon North
with an AISC of A$687/oz, then Evolution’s Cowal (A$712/oz) and Kirkland Lake’s Fosterville (A$727/oz).
Newmont’s Boddington operation kept top spot as Australia’s largest gold producer with 197,000 oz for the quarter, followed by
Barrick and Newmont’s Kalgoorlie operations (180,000 oz) then Newcrest’s Cadia Valley (120,514 oz). Of the mines where gold is a
by-product, OZ Minerals’ Prominent Hill produced the most gold 29,264 oz followed by Evolution’s Ernest Henry 23,682 oz and BHP’s
Olympic Dam with 13,101 oz.
Grade wise for the companies that report AISC, the average reported mill head/feed grade was 3.39 g/t (Open Pit (OP) - 1.94 g/t,
Underground (UG) - 4.86 g/t, Open Pit & Underground (OP/UG) - 2.58 g/t) which was up on the previous quarter, 3.35 g/t (1.3%).
Kirkland Lake’s Fosterville mine took out the honour as the operation with the highest average feed grade with 14.10 g/t, followed
by St Barbara’s Gwalia mine 11.00 g/t. The lowest grade mine was Evolution’s Ernest Henry processing an average head grade of
0.57 g/t. The high-grade operations that do not report an AISC were LionGold’s Ballarat with 5.10 g/t and Centennial Mining’s A1
operation with 4.84 g/t.
