Jan 30 (Reuters) - Evolution Mining Ltd EVN.AX said on Tuesday second-quarter gold output fell 14.4 percent following the sale of a mine in September, but expects full-year production to be in the upper range of guidance.
Gold production fell to 186,488 ounces in the December quarter from 217,812 ounces a year earlier, in line with the company's forecast of 180,000 to 190,000 ounces, the gold miner said in a statement.
The miner said it expected its full-year production to be above the midpoint of its 750,000 - 805,000 ounces guidance range.
Cost of production, measured on an all-in sustaining (AISC) basis, was A$784 ($634.33) per ounce for the quarter, compared with A$900 spent per ounce a year ago.
