Bjorkdal underperformingAnd while I'm at it, guidance for Bjorkdal this year is 52,000 to 57,000 AU ounces. So far this year, Bjorkdal has produced 11,855 oz in the first quarter, and 10,941 in the second quarter (22,796 total). To his the bottom end of their guidance, Bjorkdal would have to produce almost 15,000 ounces in both Q3 and Q4. The highest number the mine has produced in the last 6 quarters is 12,252.
Right now MND is set to hit the midpoint of its total guidance, but this is because Costerfield is performing right at its upper margin, and they have some reclaimed ounces from Cerro Bayo that aren't included in guidance at all. The production increase that they anticipated from Bjorkdal has not happened.
