Production at its four opencut operations totalled 763,000 tonnes for the September quarter, 6% less than the same time last year; however, sales were up across the board with a total of 497,000t sold by the company during the period.

The forward focus for Gloucester remains on land acquisitions over prospective areas and converting resources into mineable reserves with the company expecting to release an updated JORC resources and reserves statement early next year.
