St Barbara has advised that its gold production for 2022-23 will be within the range of 260,000 to 290,000 ounces. It had forecast full-year output of between 280,000 ounces and 315,000 ounces in mid-September. The company has attributed the production downward to labour shortages at its flagship Gwalia mine, which posted a significant fall in output for the September quarter. St Barbara sold 62,726 ounces of gold during the period, at an average price of $2,486 per ounce. Its shares closed nearly 22 per cent lower at $0.525 on Tuesday.
