Gold mining company Westgold (ASX:WGX) has announced a production guidance update for the 2018 calendar year, putting its gold production at 275 thousand ounces.

Also impacting profits, the flooding of Meekatharra Gold Operations which has lowered ouput by around 8000 ounces.

Repairs to the Higginsville Gold Operations have also halted productivity.
