Brigus Gold Corp.(NYSE:BRD, TSX:BRD) announced second quarter production results from their Black Fox Mine.
As quoted in the press release:
Production during the quarter was impacted due to a temporary suspension of milling activities at the Black Fox Mill. As previously reported, milling operations were suspended for 20 days due to higher than normal water levels in the holding and water management facilities. Underground and open pit mining operations were not affected by the temporary mill suspension and the Company stockpiled ore which was processed once milling operations resumed.
Brigus’ President and COO, Daniel Racine, said:
The second quarter production of 23,304 ounces of gold is a positive accomplishment for the Company. Despite the temporary suspension of milling activities during this quarter the Company is on track to meet its original guidance of 90,000 to 100,000 ounces of gold in 2013.
