JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Owners of the Kensington Mine outside Juneau are reporting metal sales of $746 million in 2013, including 114,821 ounces of gold.
KINY-radio (https://bit.ly/1c8rBVu) reports Coeur Mining released 2013 production figures Thursday.
Gold production was up 40 percent at the mine. Silver production fell 6 percent from 2012.
Company officials are hoping to keep production strong in 2014.
Chief operating officer Frank Hanagarne (HAHN’-ah-garn) Jr., says increased mill throughput is expected to offset lower ore grades as miners drill toward higher-grade ore.
The company reports spending $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 on underground capital development and reserve drilling.
