The AIM-traded firm said that included initial hard rock production from Guy Fawkes of 170 equivalent ounces of gold.

Development at Guy Fawkes continued through the quarter, the board said, with progress also made at Fair Bride.
"The quarter ended 30 September was the third-best period for production since we commenced alluvial mining at Manica, and production in September was 46% higher than any previous month," said executive chairman Colin Bird.
"Our policy is to have a number of sites operated by different contractors and continue on this basis into 2022.
"The Fair Bride and Guy Fawkes hard rock projects are both advancing satisfactorily, and we look forward to increased production from Guy Fawkes in the final quarter and initial production from Fair Bride towards the end of 2021."
