ASX-listed Australia-based miner Western Areas’ mine production for the June quarter has exceeded its financial year guidance of 27 000 t by producing 27 607 t of nickel. The increase was driven by record yearly production for the Spotted Quoll mine, in the Forrestania region. Mill production was similarly strong, setting a new full-year record, with the June quarter the best for the year, despite a five-day shutdown associated with Western Power grid upgrades.
