Operating Performance
The following table and subsequent discussion provide a summary of the operating performance of Juanicipio for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, unless otherwise noted.

Lead pounds sold (klb) | 10,415 | 9,224 | ||
Zinc pounds sold (klb) | 18,286 | 15,237 | ||
Equivalent silver ounces sold (koz) (2) | 5,648 | 5,817 | ||
(1) | Equivalent silver head grades have been calculated using the following price assumptions to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver head grade in 2025: $29/oz silver, $2,500/oz gold, $0.90/lb lead and $1.30/lb zinc (2024: $23/oz silver, $1,950/oz gold, $0.95/lb lead and $1.15/lb zinc). |
(2) | Equivalent silver ounces sold have been calculated using realized prices to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver ounces sold (metal quantity, multiplied by metal price, divided by silver price). Three months ended June 30, 2025 realized prices: $34.23/oz silver, $3,354.40/oz gold, $0.88lb lead and $1.21/lb zinc (three months ended June 30, 2024 realized prices: $30.17/oz silver, $2,379.85/oz gold, $0.99/lb lead and $1.33/lb zinc). |
During Q2 2025, a total of 355,785 tonnes of ore were mined. This represents an increase of 2% over Q2 2024. Increases in mined tonnages at Juanicipio have been driven by access to the full strike length of the deposit and the operational ramp-up of the mine towards steady state mining and milling targets.
During Q2 2025, a total of 342,515 tonnes of ore were processed through the Juanicipio plant. The 2% increase over Q2 2024 is mainly due to an increase in availability of the Juanicipio processing plant, currently operating at or above nameplate per operating day, during 2025.
The silver head grade and equivalent silver head grade for the ore processed in Q2 2025 were 417 g/t and 661 g/t (Q2 2024: 498 g/t and 746 g/t). The higher silver and lower base metal head grades in Q2 2024 were the result of processing ore from higher levels of the mine, characterized by elevated silver grade, compared to deeper areas in Q2 2025. Silver metallurgical recovery during Q2 2025 was 94.6% (Q2 2024: 92.4%) reflecting the commencement of commercial pyrite and gravimetric concentrate production during Q2 2024 delivering incremental silver and gold recovery paired with ongoing optimizations in the processing plant.
The following table provides a summary of the total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs of Juanicipio for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Key mine performance data of Juanicipio (100% basis) | Three months ended | |||

Total cash costs (1) | (14,938 | ) | 4,911 | |

Cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold ($/oz) (1) | 8.38 | 8.86 | ||

All-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver ounce sold ($/oz) (1) | 11.46 | 11.31 | ||
(1) | Total cash costs, cash cost per ounce, cash cost per equivalent ounce, all-in sustaining costs, all-in sustaining cost per ounce, and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent ounce are non-IFRS measures, please see below “Non-IFRS Measures” section and section 12 of the Q2 2025 MD&A for a detailed reconciliation of these measures to the Q2 2025 Financial Statements. Equivalent silver ounces sold have been calculated using realized prices to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver ounces sold (metal quantity, multiplied by metal price, divided by silver price). Three months ended June 30, 2025 realized prices: $34.23/oz silver, $3,354.40/oz gold, $0.88lb lead and $1.21/lb zinc (three months ended June 30, 2024 realized prices: $30.17/oz silver, $2,379.85/oz gold, $0.99/lb lead and $1.33/lb zinc). |
The cash cost per silver ounce sold1 and cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 for the three months ending June 30, 2025 were negative $3.90/oz and $8.38/oz (three months ended June 30, 2024: $1.15/oz and $8.86/oz). The decrease in cash cost per silver ounce sold1 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 is predominantly attributable to higher by-product revenues, as a result of 81% higher gold revenues (29% higher gold volumes and 41% higher realized gold price) offset by lower silver ounces sold. Additionally, cash cost per silver ounce sold1 and cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were impacted by 9% lower production cost, and 18% lower treatment and refining costs driven by recent benchmark treatment price adjustments.
The all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold1 and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $0.65/oz and $11.46/oz (three months ended June 30, 2024: $4.49/oz and $11.31/oz). The decrease in all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold1 and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 was primarily due to the decrease in cash cost per silver ounce sold1 and cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 described above. Additionally, all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold1 and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 were impacted by $1,031 lower general and administrative expenses (impacted by timing of operator services charges), and $4,160 higher sustaining capital expenditures (driven by higher exploration spend and higher mine Cell 2 infrastructures spend).

Sales increased by $19,386 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to 13% higher realized metal prices and $1,553 lower treatment and refining charges driven mainly by updated favorable benchmark treatment pricing terms.
Production costs decreased by $3,416 mainly due to lower mining costs ($2,776), driven by lower labour and energy costs, and higher stockpile inventory build-up ($679).
Depreciation decreased by $1,062 impacted by an increase in updated reserve base (yearly assessment) for the purpose of units of production depreciation calculation.
Cash operating margin (gross profit plus depreciation divided by sales) increased from 76% to 80%, mainly due to positive commodity price movements, lower treatment and refining costs and reduced operating costs.
Other expenses increased by $1,601 mainly as a result of negative foreign exchange differences ($5,175) and higher selling costs and other duties ($674), which were impacted by higher metal prices, offset by lower consulting and administrative expenses ($1,031) and lower interest expense ($3,216) as Juanicipio reduced its outstanding shareholder loans balance by $175,884 during the period of June to December 2024.
Taxes decreased by $19,517 mainly due to non-cash deferred tax charges on fixed assets driven by a strengthening in the Mexican peso versus the US dollar, offset by higher taxable profits generated during Q2 2025.
