Yamana Gold Inc. shares closed up 2.99% on almost 10.8 million shares traded on Friday. The stock saw gains of 5% on Thursday as well after the gold and copper company posted strong 2017 production results that beat expectations earlier in the week. Despite production levels dropping below 2016 levels, it was still a beat. For the fourth quarter gold production hit 259,000 ounces. This was a 3.7% decrease. Silver product at 1.17 million ounces was a 28% decrease. Copper production at 34 million pounds saw a 3 million decrease. Peter Marrone, Yamana's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We are pleased with our strong operational performance. We have met and significantly exceeded production at low costs that are consistent with our costs guidance. We are also very pleased with the advancement of Cerro Moro, which is on schedule to begin operations in a few months. The copper advanced sales program is part of a series of steps we have undertaken, and continue to undertake, as part of a program begun several years ago, to definitively improve and settle our balance sheet and financial status, all in preparation of the start-up of Cerro Moro. We expect Cerro Moro to meaningfully increase our cash flows based on its planned strong production of precious metals at low costs, costs that are among the lowest in the industry. We are now well positioned with our six, and soon to be seven, producing mines along with a strong pipeline of advancing assets and opportunities."
