Tim Swendseid, Elevation Gold CEO, stated “The positive Mine Operating Income before D&D for the past three quarters reflects sustained improvement in production and costs, and during Q1 2023, we also improved our balance sheet, particularly with respect to current liabilities, which decreased from $25 million at the start of the quarter to $15 million at the end of the quarter.  We continued to benefit from improved gold prices, which we expect will persist, and re-iterate our sales guidance for 2023 of 34,000-36,000 ounces.  In addition, we are very encouraged by the promising drilling results we previously announced for the Reynolds Pit area and look forward to beginning the construction of our leach pad expansion during Q2 2023.”

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 Q1 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

Modifications to the Operating Line of Credit, Termination of Gold Stream Facility and Modification of Silver Stream Agreement

The Company is also pleased to announce it has increased an arrangement that provides Elevation Gold with a revolving credit facility originally announced by the Company on August 18, 2022.  The net proceeds will be used for operating and capital expenditures at its wholly owned gold and silver producing Moss Mine in Arizona and for general working capital purposes.  Under the terms of the amended Credit Facility, the maximum principal amount available to the Company was increased to USD17.7 million, interest accrues on any unpaid principal at a rate of 10% per annum and is payable quarterly in physical gold. Partial repayments of principal, of varying amounts, are required quarterly, beginning in Q4 2023 until paid off in its entirety in Q1 2025.  The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay without penalty or premium the Credit Facility, in whole or in part.  In conjunction with the amendment of the Credit Facility, the Company has completed all deliveries required by the Gold Stream Facility originated in January 2022, and that facility is now closed.  Additionally, the Company modified the silver stream agreement by eliminating the step-down that was to occur following the delivery of 3.5 million ounces.   As of March 31, 2023, the Company has delivered 1,217,142 ounces under the agreement.
