Doray Minerals Limited (ASX: DRM, Doray) is pleased to announce a significant increase in production and profits for the 2015 financial year, along with plans to double production and further increase margins following the development of the Company's second high-grade gold project at Deflector.
Production increased by 15% to 88,736 ounces, against an upgraded guidance of 85,000-90,000 ounces, following the increase in the size of the high-grade Wilber Lode Stage 2 open pit and significant improvements in controlling dilution underground at Andy Well throughout the year.
Revenue increased by 21% to $134.1 million as result of the increased production and the Company's decision to undertake a forward sales programme for approximately 40% of the year's production, thereby achieving an average gold price of approximately A$1,495/oz.
During the year, the Company successfully completed the Takeover of Mutiny Gold Limited (ASX:MYG, Mutiny) with the development of Mutiny's Deflector Gold-Copper Project set to double Doray's annual production with significant increased profit margins from the 2017 financial year.
Doray's Managing Director, Mr Allan Kelly, said the Company had delivered against all its objectives for the year, including upgrading its production guidance whilst at the same time completing the Mutiny Takeover.
'I'm very pleased to say that the Company has again delivered in terms of profitable production, safety performance and exploration results and is forecast to achieve further near-term production and profit growth once our second high-grade gold mine at Deflector is up and running in mid-2016.'
