Perseus Mining Ltd (ASX: PRU)
The Perseus Mining share price is edging lower today after the gold miner released its third-quarter update.
The company posted production of 107,144 ounces of gold at an all-in site cost of US$1,748 per ounce. The latter was comfortably lower than its average realised price, which underpinned an average cash margin of US$2,395 per ounce of gold produced. This delivered estimated operating cash flow of US$252 million.
FY 2026 production and all-in site cost guidance remains unchanged at 400,000 ounces to 440,000 ounces with an AISC of US$1,600 per ounce to US$1,760 per ounce.
Regis Resources Ltd (ASX: RRL)
The Regis Resources share price is also down slightly today.
It released its third-quarter update and reported gold production of 90.6k ounces at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of $2,807 per ounce.
This comprises Duketon production of 57.5k ounces at an AISC of $3,139 per ounce and Tropicana production of 33.1k ounces at an AISC of $2,140 per ounce.
Gold sales for the quarter were 89.1k ounces for a total of $622 million at an average realised price of $6,977 per ounce.
Looking ahead, while the recent spike in diesel price is impacting the company's costs, it advised that if the current prices stay steady, it will still expect to come within its guidance.
West African Resources Ltd (ASX: WAF)
The West African Resources share price is trading lower today following the release of the gold miner's first-quarter update.
It reported quarterly gold production of 107,728 ounces with an AISC of US$1,921 per ounce. This underpinned cash flow from operating activities of $440 million, which lifted its cash balance to a record high of $847 million.
This means the company is performing in-line with its guidance for the year. West African's executive chair and CEO, Richard Hyde, commented:
With quarterly production of 107,728 ounces gold at an AISC of US$1,921/oz from our two large low-cost gold production centres of Sanbrado and Kiaka in Burkina Faso and based on our planned production profile for 2026, WAF is on-track to achieve annual production guidance of 430,000 – 490,000 ounces of gold at an AISC below US$1,900/oz.
