Tardan’s operational performance in Q223 demonstrated a marked improvement over Q1 (especially in terms of grades mined and processed) and put Auriant on track to meet guidance of 630–670kg gold in FY23 at the same time that the rouble is devaluing.

Financials

Auriant’s Tardan CIL has plant increased metallurgical recoveries by c 40pp and reduced cash costs to c US$800/oz to result in an approximate 3x increase in EBITDA and c 2x increase in operational cash flows in FY21 before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Even so, Auriant has repaid all of its high cost debt and is in the process of completing a definitive feasibility study on Kara-Beldyr. Combined, the two mines have the capacity to achieve management’s goal of c 3t (96.5koz) of gold output per annum from FY26. Drilling is also underway to investigate a hard rock mining plan at Solcocon/Staroverinskaya.
