Against a flat gold price and a slight dip in recoveries at its New Luika mine, Shanta Gold (SHG) managed to double post-tax profits in 2018, thanks to a steely eye on cash costs and a sharp pull-back in capital expenditure. At the same time, net debt was reduced by $8m (£6m) to $31.5m – the lowest level in six years.
