Sept 17 (Reuters) - Canadian miner Kinross Gold Corp K.TO
on Thursday lowered its full-year capital spending and overhead
costs forecasts and raised the lower end of its production
outlook.
The company, which has been looking for ways to reduce costs
amid sliding metals prices, cut its 2015 capital spending
forecast to $650 million from $725 million.
""Every region has stepped up and is expected to produce at,
or above, its prior guidance range, and below prior cost
guidance ranges," Chief Executive Paul Rollinson said in a
statement.
Kinross said it expects overhead expenses to be below its
forecast of $205 million and said it is looking to more
opportunities to lower such costs further.
The company said it expects to produce 2.5-2.6 million gold
equivalent ounces in 2015, compared with its previous forecast
of 2.4-2.6 million gold equivalent ounces.
Kinross reduced its all-in sustaining cost forecast to a
range of $975 to $1,025 per ounce from $1,000 to $1,100.
Cost of sales is now expected to be $690-$730 per ounce,
down from its previous forecast of $720-$780 per ounce.
Kinross had slid to a loss in the second quarter, in line
with market expectations, on the back of a weaker gold price,
lower gold sales and the temporary suspension of operations at a
mine in Chile.
At that time, in July, Rollinson said Kinross was again
considering cutting jobs at its Tasiast gold mine in Mauritania
to lower costs.
