Drdgold ( (DRD) ) just unveiled an announcement.

DRDGOLD Limited reported a 12% decrease in gold production for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the previous quarter, primarily due to wet weather conditions affecting site access and yield. Despite a 4% increase in revenue driven by a 10% rise in average gold prices, the company faced higher cash operating costs per kilogram due to reduced production. The company remains optimistic about its financial position, with increased cash reserves and plans for a final dividend in August 2025, although it may fall short of its annual production guidance.
