Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG) said full-year 2026 production at its Syama Gold Mine in Mali is now expected to be around the lower end of its guidance range of 195,000 to 210,000 ounces due to logistical and supply chain disruptions caused by road insecurity in parts of Mali, according to a Friday Australian bourse filing.
The company said second-quarter gold production at Syama is expected to be about 30,000 ounces, compared with its original forecast of 40,000 to 45,000 ounces.
The planned three-week shutdown of the sulfide plant and roaster, originally scheduled for May, has been deferred to mid-June due to current in-country conditions, with the extended maintenance shutdown expected to increase the availability of the sulfide processing plant, the company said.
Processing optimization initiatives are underway to improve overall plant throughput throughout the remainder of the year, the company added.
The company's shares fell 6% in recent Friday trade.
