CEO Rod Antal said Thursday the flagship Çöpler operation had a productive last quarter, which pushed 2018 output to 170,865oz gold, at unaudited all-in sustaining costs of US$615 per ounce.
"Last year's gold production represented a key milestone for the company as it included the first production from the newly constructed sulphide plant. The performance of the sulphide plant continues to meet our expectations," Antal said.
Alacer noted that following the initial gold inventory build in the new plant, 21,916oz were poured in December, which was the first full month of sulphide plant operations.
