Perseus Mining Limited (ASX:PRU) operates gold mines in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire and is developing the Nyanzaga project in Tanzania. Its shares traded at AUD 6.61 on 11 November 2026, down 0.30% during the session. The latest September-quarter results placed production costs, underground development and the timing of new ounces at the centre of the company’s FY27 operating plans.

Operating Gold Mines Across West Africa

The company’s producing portfolio comprises Edikan in Ghana and Yaouré and Sissingué in Côte d’Ivoire. Its results reflect activity at individual processing plants and mines rather than a single operating asset. Production volume, grade, gold recovery and operating expenditure can differ materially across these sites.

Nyanzaga, in Tanzania, remains a development project rather than a producing mine in the September-quarter figures. That distinction matters when considering the company’s guidance, because anticipated Nyanzaga ounces are contingent on construction, commissioning and the commencement of operations.

September Quarter Production and Site Costs

For the quarter ended 30 September 2026, Perseus Mining (ASX:PRU) produced 92,551 ounces of gold at group all-in site costs of USD 2,035 per ounce. Yaouré contributed 36,648 ounces, Edikan 35,830 ounces and Sissingué 20,073 ounces. These figures measure production, not the Market Price of gold or revenue.

Site costs varied: Yaouré reported USD 2,393 per ounce, Edikan USD 1,738 and Sissingué USD 1,913. This variation underlines the importance of mine sequencing and cost control. The company also reported the CMA underground operation at Yaouré had achieved commercial production, making its subsequent ramp-up relevant to FY27 volumes.

FY27 Guidance and Development Work

Perseus Mining (ASX:PRU) retained FY27 production guidance of 420,000–480,000 ounces at forecast all-in site costs of USD 1,835–2,070 per ounce. The guidance includes approximately 55,000 ounces expected from Nyanzaga, which had contributed no production in the September quarter. Actual delivery will depend on development progress.

The company identified increasing CMA underground output, higher-grade mining at Edikan’s Nkosuo pit and Nyanzaga’s planned commencement as factors in the second-half production profile. Its reported cash and bullion position was approximately USD 900 million at the end of the September quarter, providing a financial buffer for project expenditure.

Operational Risks and Next Reporting Points

Gold grades, equipment availability, processing efficiency, contractors and the pace of underground mine development can affect output and unit costs. Operations across several jurisdictions also involve permitting, logistics and country-specific obligations. Gold-price changes influence realised revenues but should not be equated with movements in Perseus shares.

The December-quarter disclosure will show whether higher-grade ore access and CMA underground output are progressing as anticipated. Readers can also monitor Nyanzaga construction, commissioning timing, site-by-site costs and any revisions to FY27 guidance. These milestones are operational targets rather than completed results.

Key Insights

Perseus Mining (ASX:PRU) began FY27 with 92,551 ounces of quarterly gold output and guidance that depends partly on Nyanzaga entering production. Site costs and development schedules remain important measures of progress.
