Elevation Gold Mining Corporation (TSX-V: ELVT) (OTCQX: EVGDF) is pleased to announce financial results for three and six months ended June 30, 2023. All figures are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise noted.

Summary for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

• Elevation produced 6,788 ounces of gold and 43,735 ounces of silver for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
• The Company generated total revenue of $14.9 million during the quarter, an increase of 4% compared to the second quarter of 2022, on 6,840 ounces of gold and 61,646 ounces of silver sold. The average realized price of gold per ounce sold ⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $1,946.
• Income from mine operations before depreciation and depletion of $0.8 million.
• On April 26, 2023 and May 24, 2023, the Company announced results from reverse circulation holes that included an intercept of 225.6 meters with an average grade of 0.56 g/t and 2.77 g/t Ag, and an intercept of 47.2 meters with an average grade of 0.38 g/t Au and 1.69 g/t Ag, respectively, in the Reynolds Pit area.

Tim Swendseid, Elevation Gold CEO, stated “Moss experienced a challenging quarter as a result of very hard ore in West Pit that led to inadequate fragmentation and adversely affected throughput and mining costs. The situation improved by quarter’s end and is expected to continue to improve through the remainder of the year as we incorporate ore from East Pit and an area in West Pit adjacent to the Mordor area. Both areas have demonstrated excellent fragmentation and have provided significantly positive production to model results thus far for both tonnage and grade. We expect to significantly benefit from high gold prices combined with strong production. We maintain our guidance for the year of 34,000-36,000 ounces and reiterate our expectation of a stronger second half. Additionally, as previously communicated, during this quarter we announced some outstanding drill results in the Reynolds Pit and are drilling additional holes there in Q3 to improve our outlook for 2024.”

Non-IFRS Performance Measures

The following tables represent the calculation of certain Non-IFRS Financial Measures as referenced in this news release.

Reconciliation of Cash Costs and AISC

The Company has calculated Total Cash Costs, Total AISC, and relevant per ounce of gold unit rates consistently across each of the periods presented and include period adjustments for the heap leach and doré impairment charges (and reversals), which were incurred in Q2 2023. These impairment charges and reversals can create fluctuations in reported amounts in the periods in which they are recorded.

Reconciliation of Average Realized Price of Gold per Ounce Sold

Florence Hill Exploration Area

The Company announces that all multi-element assay determinations have now been received for the holes drilled by the Company in the Florence Hill area. During 2022 and early 2023, the Company drilled five holes and 3,142 meters in the combined Florence Hill, Hardy Vein and Grapevine areas, targeting hydrothermal systems and anomalies identified by 2022 aerial geophysical surveys. The results in multiple holes demonstrated intensive alteration with depth, akin to signatures expected from a porphyry system, although the Company does not feel the holes were of sufficient depth to fully test the area, in particular the Florence Hill area. Short intercepts of gold and silver were encountered by the core holes, indicating the potential for intersecting deeper economic mineralization. Positive results warrant further exploration.

Grant of Deferred Share Units 

The Company announces that on August 14, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the grant of 1,200,000 Deferred Share Units to certain directors of the Company pursuant to its equity incentive compensation plan. The DSUs are subject to the terms of the Plan and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
