Boddington delay costs AngloGold

摘要

That is because the postponement of the Boddington start-up and continued input cost increases across the board ate into the company's third quarter Australian balance sheet. Continued cost inflation has impacted on the timeline to bring Boddington on-stream. Development of the mine, 130km southeast of Perth, has so far been delayed by one quarter - JV partners Newmont Gold Corp (66 percent) and AngloGold (33 percent) now hope to commission the 11 moz gold and 1 billion Ib copper mine by "early to mid-2009".
