Gold miner Acacia<\/a> disappointed investors today, sending shares down more than seven per cent, as two major mishaps hit production.<\/p>\n

Gold output dropped 13 per cent year-on-year to 105,000 ounces as part of the ground gave way at its Gokona underground mine in North Mara, Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The North Mara site was also hit when an excavator broke down for six weeks in the Nyabirama open pit.<\/p>\n

This caused production to drop 14 per cent at North Mara to 66,000 ounces, the company announced today.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a bit of a double-whammy, which was unplanned,\u201d interim chief executive Peter Geleta told City A.M.<\/em> \u201cthe positive is that weve put in new mining plans and have re-sequenced our mining \u2026 in the second quarter were getting back on track.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guidance remains unchanged for the full year, the company said, at 500,000 to 550,000 ounces, versus 522,000 last year.<\/p>\n

The company is starting to hit better-grade ore deposits in North Mara, Geleta added.<\/p>\n

Tim Huff, an analyst at Peel Hunt, said the miners $24m (\u00a319m) earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) fell well below his expectations of $33m as the cost of extracting gold rose nearly 19 per cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus will be on the second quarter outlook at North Mara with access to higher grade stopes, how the revised mine plan is working with new mine sequencing and if progress at both the open pit and underground are moving at the same rate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Acacia is still under sanctions with the Tanzanian government after it was slapped with a massive $190bn backdated tax bill and a ban on exporting gold concentrate.<\/p>\n

The firms biggest shareholder Barrick Gold is still in negotiations with the Tanzanian government, with a deal expected shortly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts difficult for us to say given were not in the room, but based on what Barrick have announced, one would expect that its got to be pretty soon. And I would say, soon would be in this quarter,\u201d Geleta said.<\/p>\n
