Eldorado Gold ( NYSE: EGO ) expects to meet its gold production target for full year 2023, driven by record output from its Lamaque Complex operations in Canada.
Based on preliminary estimates , full year gold production was 485,140 oz., at the midpoint of the company's 475,000 to 495,000 oz. guidance range.
The Lamaque Complex delivered record gold production both in Q4 (56,619 oz.) and for the year (177,069 oz.). During Q4, production increased 29% over the third quarter driven by increased grade and mill throughput.
