Caution urged after Qld's largest gold mine's lifesaving $1.4bn deal

Queensland's largest gold mine, Ravenswood Gold, has secured a $1.4 billion refinancing deal to address debt from expansion projects and outdated hedging agreements. The mine, located southwest of Townsville, currently produces 134,000 ounces of gold annually and aims to increase this to 200,000 ounces by 2027. CEO Tim Duffy stated the refinancing strengthens the company's position amid rising gold prices. However, economist Rod Campbell cautioned against complacency, warning that even with high gold prices, financial difficulties could persist.
