April 27 (Reuters) - Takeover target Newcrest Mining said on Thursday gold production in the third quarter
fell 0.5% from the second, hurt by lower mill throughput at the
Cadia project following an unscheduled mechanical breakdown.
The miner produced 509,637 ounces (oz) of the precious metal
in the three months ended March 31, down from 512,130 oz in the
December quarter. The output missed a Visible Alpha consensus
estimate of 568,000 oz, according to Sydney investment bank
Barrenjoey.
