Gascoyne Managing Director and CEO , Mr Richard Hay , commented : " We have had another solid quarter of production at Dalgaranga and produced $ 7.3 million of free cash flow despite some operating constraints due to weather related and localised pit slip events earlier in the period . The Dalgaranga plant continued to perform well above its 2.5Mtpa nameplate capacity at an annualised rate of + 2.8Mtpa in the quarter . " Post the end of the period we outlined a revised business plan which involves delaying the Stage 3 cutback of the Gilbey's pit and accelerating the introduction of regional ore sources to boost near - term cash flow and reduce financial risk . " Westgold announced on 29th October that its takeover offer had opened for acceptances . Following a comprehensive assessment in consultation with its financial and legal advisors , the Board of Gascoyne has determined that if the Westgold Offer was capable of being completed it would be superior in value for Gascoyne shareholders compared to completing the Scheme of Arrangement ( " Scheme " ) with Firefly Resources Limited ( " Firefly " ) . The Board , however , notes the condition set out in section 7.2 ( a ) of the Bidders Statement whereby the Westgold Offer is subject to the Scheme with Firefly not proceeding and being validly terminated ( " Firefly Scheme Termination Condition " ) . Currently the Firefly Scheme Termination condition is not capable of being satisfied without Firefly's agreement .
