Q3 2023 statistics may be subject to immaterial reconciliation variances.

Gold production was up by 17% in the first 9-months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 while Q3 production decreased 17% year-over-year. Both the quarterly decrease year-over-year and the 9-month year-to-date increase are due to a reduction in seasonality as a result of year-round ore stacking on the heap leach pad, a more even distribution of planned maintenance throughout the year and a growing heap leach pad which moderates quarter over quarter gold production. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in grade is due to mine sequencing. Ore and waste mined, ore stacked on the heap leach pad and gold produced were all negatively impacted during the 3rd quarter of 2023 by an approximate 2 week evacuation in early August due to wildfire activity.
