LONDON, June 9 (Reuters) - Precious metals producer Hambledon Mining Plc (HMB.L) said on Tuesday that its output in 2008 was far lower than planned after a number of significant disruptions.

The AIM-listed company, which operates in Kazakhstan, said it produced 11,939 ounces of gold and 21,644 ounces of silver last year. Its pretax losses widened to 7.1 million pounds ($11.4 million) from 4.4 million.

"Although the major causes of bottlenecks in production have been resolved, we still have many things to achieve," it said in a statement.

The company added that likely changes in production levels and the outlook for gold prices XAU= show that the group will be cash generative for the foreseeable future and its borrowings can be repaid before it falls due at the end of 2009.

In a separate statement, the group said it produced 2,027 oounces of gold and 5,132 ounces of silver in April and 1,841 gold ounces and and 3,741 ounces of silver in May.
