Kingsgate Consolidated Limited announced production results for the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the period, the company reported total gold production of 44,264 ounces at a total cash cost of $712 per ounce against 32,991 ounces at a total cost of $815. The production reflects the Chatree North Expansion Plant (Plant 2) being offline in September for the final verification process, and the focus at Challenger on mine development and the establishment of two new mining fronts. Gold sales in the quarter were 47,810 ounces at an average gold price received of $1,638 per ounce.

Total gold production guidance for the financial year 2013 is maintained at between 200,000 and 220,000 ounces. Chatree production is expected to be between 120,000 to 130,000 ounces and Challenger between 80,000 and 90,000 ounces.
