Russia-focused gold miner Trans-Siberian Gold upgraded its annual production guidance on the back of higher-than-expected grades at its Asacha mine.

Gold output for the year through December was now expected to be between 44,000 and 45,000 ounces, up from previous guidance of 38,000-to-42,000 ounces.

Production in the 11 months through November was 40,297 ounces.

The company said it had progressed a transition towards the east zone of Asacha, with test ore from one particular vein contributing towards higher-than-expected average grades in the second and third quarters.
