Endeavour flags weaker gold output amid Mana shutdown - MiningMX

AI desk brief

Endeavour expects annual gold output in the lower half of its 1.09–1.265 million oz guidance as Mana underground mining and processing remain suspended until an expected second-quarter 2027 restart. Mana will miss its 155,000 oz guidance floor and exceed its $2,250/oz AISC ceiling; stronger Lafigué output partly offsets the disruption. Nine-month production fell 10% to 820,000 oz, while group AISC rose 37% to $1,866/oz, including $166/oz attributed to higher gold-price royalties. CEO Ian Cockerill reaffirmed full-year group targets. The disruption primarily affects company output and costs; the source establishes no material directional bullion impact.
