Michael Carvill, Managing Director, said:
"2013 saw the end of a long period of investment in Moma. With the expansion complete and commissioned, and with the capital cost behind us, the Moma Mine will reap the benefits of this investment not only in 2014 but for years to come. We are continuing to improve the efficiency of our business and drive down our cost per tonne, whilst tackling the challenges of maintaining consistent power to our operations."
