Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX:VGCX) produced 41,982 ounces gold during the period October 1 to December 31, 2023, the fourth quarter of 2023. Full year 2023 Eagle Gold Mine production was 166,730 ounces of gold.

“The Eagle Gold Mine achieved our 2023 production guidance of 160,000-180,000 ounces of gold,” commented Mr. John McConnell, President and CEO. “This is a record level of production for Eagle and an 11% increase year-over-year. In 2023, we successfully demonstrated the feasibility of year-round stacking on the heap leach facility, resulting in more consistent quarterly gold production and a mitigation of the impacts of seasonality. We intend to continue year-round stacking in 2024 and look forward to increased year-over-year production levels again this year.” Mr. McConnell also noted, “We generated positive free cash flow during the fourth quarter and continued to reduce our net debt position, including a Cdn$11 million payment against our Term Loan Facility, which we expect to fully repay during the 3^rd quarter of 2024.”
