Not bad results at all - These miners typically try and hit the upper end of their production targets. If they are ahead of guidance during the year, they often look to reduce their grades and mine marginal parts of their estate during the last quarter so that they can still meet targets but utilise less productive parts of the mine. These are good results. Revenues beat market cap we would expect record EBITDA and post-tax profits this year too. Not sure what the market was expecting, but I think the price drop has been engineered slightly to get cheaper shares. Should rebound as the news sinks in?
