Gold division
· The 2022 run-of-mine material grew by 7% and totalled 28.8 million cubic meters.
· Ore mining comprised 14.2 million tonnes, 15% lower than in the previous year. The decrease was due to the outpacing mining in 2021 that allowed stocking up ore and reducing mining operations in 2022.
