February Production Highlights

• Silver production of 357,333 oz in February 2025 or 12,762 oz per day; an increase in average daily silver production based on 23 days of operation due to lower availability as a result of a planned shutdown.
• Silver recovery of 83% in February 2025 due to oxidized ore processing and plant shut down.
• Combined mill availability of 88% in February 2025.
• Mine production of 68,967t in February 2025, which represents a 37% increase over January 2025.

“I am pleased to share that we continue to improve the production rate at Zgounder. We see a month-over-month increase in the daily average silver production, but also in the milling and mining rates from January to February 2025. This strong performance is driven by improved mine production, alongside sustained processing capacity over 2,800 tpd since January,” said President & CEO Benoit La Salle. “This achievement included a planned shutdown in a short month, and highlights our disciplined execution and operational strength, setting the stage for sustained production growth and record profitability in 2025.”
