Major miner Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI ) revised its 2024 gold production downward on Thursday (June 13), saying that severe winter weather conditions have affected its Salares Norte asset in Chile.
Salares Norte, located in Northern Chile, has encountered challenges due to early and prolonged winter weather. This has led to the freezing of materials in the piping of the process plant, causing temporary shutdowns.
The unforeseen weather conditions have disrupted the ramp-up phase, forcing the company to revise its output targets.
