Westgold Resources (ASX:WGX) reduced its fiscal 2025 gold production guidance as the ramp-ups of the Beta Hunt and Bluebird-South Junction mines in Western Australia were slower than planned due to engineering issues, according to a Monday Australian bourse filing.
It now expects to report production of 330,000 to 350,000 ounces at an all-in-sustaining cost of AU$2,400 to AU$2,600 per ounce.
The company earlier expected production of 400,000 to 420,000 ounces at an all-in-sustaining cost of AU$2,000 to AU$2,300 per ounce.
It also expects growth capital of AU$200 million, compared with an earlier guidance of AU$235 million.
The firm's shares fell past 11% in recent trading on Monday.
