Australia’s western Areas cuts Ni output guidance

摘要

Australia’s second-largest independent nickel producer West- ern Areas has downgraded its guidance for the July 2020- June 2021 fiscal year, after underground seismicity impacted production at its Flying Fox mine in Western Australia. Guidance has been lowered to 17,000-19,000t of nickel in concentrate from 19,000-21,000t previously, the company said. The reduced guidance is because of lower grades as a result of mining resequencing caused by seismicity impacting output in the months of September and into October.
