On 9 May, Pan African announced that it was narrowing its production guidance for the year ending 30 June 2024 to 186–190koz (cf 180–190koz previously), notwithstanding the cessation of production from surface sources at Evander in H2. Group AISC guidance was maintained at US$1,325–1,350/oz (at ZAR18.50/US$) however. Consequently, we have increased our H2 production forecast by 2.5% as well as increasing our H224 gold price by 9.2% to result in a US$20.6m positive variance in H224e revenue, only partially offset by incidental higher costs, to result in a 41.7% increase in H224e normalised EPS and a 19.1% increase in FY24e normalised EPS. Production guidance was also provided for FY25 of 215–225koz, which compares with Edison’s prior (and unchanged – and, in the event, relatively conservative) forecast of 216.6koz.
