Avion Gold Corporation (TSX:AVR) announced record second quarter results, with approximately 28,637 ounces of gold, setting a second consecutive quarterly record with 54,894 ounces of gold production after refinery reduction to date for 2012.
As quoted in the press release:
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company milled 191,500 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 5.05 g/t Au, with a 92.5% mill recovery.
Mr. Andrew Bradfield, Avion’s Chief Operating Officer, commented:
The Tabakoto Mine has had two consecutive record production quarters that were achieved despite a military coup in the first quarter of 2012, and subsequent destabilization of the Malian government. The Tabakoto underground mine continues to produce higher than expected ore grades with a lower amount of ore dilution at higher processing recoveries than planned, that when combined with good open pit grades resulted in an excellent quarter.
