March production above target at Barrick Golden Sunlight Mine

For the second straight month, the production numbers were above target at the Barrick Golden Sunlight Mine.

At the Community Transition Advisory meeting last week, Mine General Manager Dan Banghart reported the production for the month was 4,992 ounces, well above the target of 4,100. In February, the mine reported production of 5,076 ounces, compared to a target of 4,484.

The productions numbers may however drop in April. Banghart said they will start a shorter six-day mill run April 20, and the numbers should be lower. He said this would set them up for a bigger month of production in May....
