Evolution Mining climbs to 4-year high on upbeat Q2 production, bullion prices
The company reported a quarterly group gold production of 194,793 ounces, compared with 161,073 ounces a year earlier.
IAMGOLD (TSX: IMG) agreed to sell its 18.9-percent interests in two Ghanaian gold mines, Tarkwa and Damang, to Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI), the majority stakeholder, for $667 million.
The company reasoned it hasn’t been getting fair value by investors as minority players in mines in which Gold Fields owns the majority stakes. “Our strategy is to invest in mines that we own and operate, as they represent the best return on investment for our shareholders,” Steve Letwin, IAMGOLD president and CEO said in a statement.
