Production and Cost Guidance

 

As a result of the production outperformance year-to-date at Camino Rojo, the Company is increasing full year gold production guidance to 130,000 to 140,000 ounces. The previous production guidance range, revised in August, was 120,000 to 130,000 ounces, while the initial annual guidance was 110,000 to 120,000 ounces. The year-to-date outperformance is driven by improved recoveries from finer crushing, higher mined and processed grade, and higher tonnes stacked. The higher strip ratio in the quarter is a result of a mine pit redesign to ensure consistent access to ore to maintain balanced production. In August 2024, full year all-in sustaining cost1 guidance was improved to a range of $800 to $900 per ounce of gold sold. As a result of the higher production guidance, full year AISC is now expected to reach the low end of the guidance range.
