    "These results reflect our strategy to enhance free cash flow and invest in critical infrastructure, particularly at Beta Hunt and Bluebird-South Junction," stated Westgold Managing Director and CEO Wayne Bramwell.

    Westgold Resources is a mid-tier gold producer and international gold company engaged in the exploration, development and operation of gold mines, primarily in Western Australia.
