Loading ...Canada’s Eldorado Gold (TSX:ELD) (NYSE:EGO) may miss its 2017 guidance by as much as 25% due to leaching problems at its Kışladağ mine in Turkey, one of its largest operations.
The Vancouver-based company said late Tuesday that Kışladağ is now expected to produce 180,000-210,000 ounces of gold this year. Incorporating that revised guidance, the miner’s group expected output would be 315,000-365,000 ounces, down from the original 365,000-400,000 ounces forecast.
Shares in the company were hit hard by the news. They fell 4.9% Wednesday to Cdn$3.53 in mid-morning trading in Toronto and were last trading 3.9% lower in New York to $2.71. Other larger gold miners were also falling today.
