Elevation Gold Mining Corporation (TSX-V: ELVT) (OTCQX: EVGDF) is pleased to announce the production results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company expects to file its third quarter financial statements and management discussion and analysis in mid-November 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

• Gold production and sales materially increased quarter over quarter, as the Company began mining higher-grade ore in Q3 2023 sourced from the East Pit and Mordor areas. Average mined grade increased from 0.38 g/t in Q2 2023 to 0.53 g/t in Q3 2023.
• The Company produced 8,380 ounces of gold from 774,588 ore tonnes processed, a 23% increase and 7% increase from Q2 2023, respectively.
• The Company sold 8,391 ounces of gold during Q3 2023, a 23% increase from Q2 2023.

Consolidated Operational Results Summary

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s operational statistics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Tim J. Swendseid, Chief Executive Officer of Elevation Gold, stated “Q3 2023 was a significant improvement over Q2 2023.  Stacked ounces were up by 50% as a result of a 39% grade improvement and a 7% improvement in crusher throughput.  Production was up by 23%, and the difference between stacked and produced ounces is due to leach percolation time as the quarter’s tons were stacked in 3A and 2C leach pads, both growing in height.  When we complete the new 3A Phase 2 leach pad at the beginning of November, we’ll be placing ore on the first lift, with minimal percolation times, plus enjoying the benefit of Q3 2023 stacked ounces. That plus the expectation that mined ore grade will be similar to the ore grade in Q3 give us confidence in maintaining guidance for the year of between 34,000 and 36,000 ounces produced.  We expect a very strong Q4.  My hats off to the Moss mine team for a safe and solid third quarter, on-time and on-budget progress of the 3A Phase 2 leach pad expansion, and for setting Elevation up for a very strong finish of the year!”
