Elevation Gold Reports Financial Results for Quarter Ended September 30, 2023, including $18.2M in Total Revenue

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

Summary for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

  • Elevation produced 8,380 ounces of gold and 53,911 ounces of silver for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
  • The Company generated total revenue of $18.2 million during the quarter, an increase of 7% compared to the third quarter of 2022 and 22% increase on the second quarter of 2023, on 8,391 ounces of gold and 82,412 ounces of silver sold. The average realized price of gold per ounce sold (1) for the quarter was $1,941.
  • Income from mine operations before depreciation and depletion of $3.8 million.

 

Tim Swendseid, Elevation Gold CEO, stated: “Compared to Q2 2023, the team at Moss had a much-improved quarter as a result of higher ore grade, significantly improved fragmentation, record crusher throughput, and operational stability. We are sourcing ore from the East Pit and Mordor areas, and as of this press release, we have completed the 3A-Ph2 Leach Pad, on time and under budget. Gold prices remain strong, and our income from mine operations before depreciation and depletion was $3.8 million for the quarter and $8.7 million for YTD, both significant improvements compared to results for the same periods last year. Cash costs per ounce are similar for the quarter and down $262/oz for the year versus similar periods last year, reflecting great work by the team at Moss Mine. We continue a limited reverse circulation drilling program in Reynolds Pit and await assays, and we maintain our guidance for the year of 34,000-36,000 ounces produced.”
