Production updates and outlook

August ore throughput of 25,188 tons or 813 tons per day (“tpd”) and gold production of 4,595 ounces represent monthly records for the mine to date. July’s ore throughput of 24,052 tonnes was also a monthly record until it was broken in August.

Average ore throughput increased to 794 tpd in Q3 to date, compared to an average of 500 tpd in Q2, primarily due to improved short-term planning processes, improved mining execution and increased mill availability. It is due to These fundamental improvements are expected to continue supporting strong and increasing production in the future. The company’s short-term goal is to increase ore throughput towards 1,000 tpd.

The August head grade of 5.9 g/t Au increased by 90% compared to July’s 3.1 g/t Au. This improvement was facilitated by increased mill feed from high grade stops. Recent improvements to mine planning practices have established drilling inventories of high grade stops to help optimize grade and production. Additionally, we expect grades to continue to rise as mining continues to move to the higher grade Austin and South Austin zones.

The September production forecast is largely supported by strong drilling inventories, with the company on track to meet its previously announced third quarter production guidance of 775-875 tpd at 4.0-5.0 g/t Au. We are making good progress. The company has not provided monthly results to date and does not intend to do so on a regular basis, but he will provide July and He August data to reconfirm guidance for Q3 2022. doing.
