July 25 (Reuters) - Australia's largest gold miner Newcrest Mining Ltd (NCM) on Tuesday reported a 9.1% sequential rise in fourth-quarter gold output, as easing production snags at its flagship Cadia mine in New South Wales drove a rebound in production.
Newcrest, which is currently the subject of a A$26.2 billion ($17.65 billion) takeover offer from Newmont Corp NEM.N , produced 556 kilo ounces (koz) of the yellow metal in the three months ended June 30, above 510 koz in the third quarter.
