Perseus Mining Ltd. (TSX:PRU,ASX:PRU) announced on Friday that it incurred a $4.024-million net after-tax loss for the six months ended December 31, 2013.

As quoted in the press release:

The decrease in profitability relative to prior periods was due mainly to a 9% decrease in gold production at the Edikan Gold Mine (‘EGM’), resulting from a planned 28% decrease in the head grade of ore processed, coupled with an unplanned 12.5% decrease in the realised sale price per ounce for gold relative to the corresponding prior period.
