Highland Gold said Friday that it is on track to meet its full-year output target of 200,000 to 215,000 troy ounces of gold and gold equivalents.
In the first six months of 2012, gold equivalent production, a measure of gold and other metals expressed in units of gold, rose 9.5 percent year on year to 101,900 ounces, Highland said.
The company, which produces gold from Mnogovershinnoye, Novoshirokinskoye and Belaya Gora mines, added that its average gold sale price increased 13 percent year on year to $1,641 per ounce. Highland Gold said its total compliant resources reached 12.9 million ounces and were up 16 percent from the end of 2011, according to the Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
