Caledonia Mining flags Q3 gold output hit by compressed air shortage at Blanket Mine
  • Caledonia Mining reported Q3 2026 Blanket Mine output fell to 17,030 oz from 19,106 oz a year earlier.
  • Shortage of compressed air disrupted mining in deeper, higher-grade areas due to delays deploying four new compressors.
  • Processing disruption retained about 1,100 oz of free gold in the plant during commissioning of new gravity-circuit equipment.
  • Two compressors are operating; two more are en route, supporting an expected return to normalized production in Q4 2026.
  • Blanket’s 2026 production guidance cut to 69,000-72,500 oz; cost guidance raised to US$1,700-US$1,900 per oz.
