Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
DRDGold records higher third quarter profit, production and sales.
Mining companies are advised to invest in the future.
And, simulation enhances the preparation of mining students.

Surface gold miner DRDGold’s operating profit increased by 16% quarter-on-quarter to R97.6-million for the quarter ended March 31, reflecting higher gold production and sales, as well as a stronger average rand gold price.

DRDGold CEO Niël Pretorius

SRK Consulting chairperson Roger Dixon advises mining companies to continue investing in building their operations for the future despite tough conditions currently because, he says, “the cycle will eventually turn”.
