Guyana Goldfields Inc. announced production results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. The company reported that gold production from mining operations totalled 41,000 ounces at its Aurora Gold Mine in Guyana, South America for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. The company also achieved its record gold production month since the commencement of mining operations and poured 18,900 ounces in September. In the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, the mill processed an average of 6,170 tonnes per day of ore at an average head grade of 2.53 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) with gold recoveries averaging 90.3%.

Gold production was as-expected for the quarter according to the 2017 mine plan and the company is on track to meet the lower end of its annual production guidance of 160,000 to 180,000 ounces of gold for the year.

Due to mine sequencing, gold grade and, therefore, gold production are expected to be the strongest in the fourth quarter as mining is focused on the hard rock diorite ore within Rory's Knoll open pit.
