Gold production increased 15.5% due to the temporary suspension of operations that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022, partially offset by lower grade sulfide ore milled during 2023. Revenue increased by $87.3 million, or 24.6%, of which $60.4 million was the result of an increase in gold ounces sold and $26.9 million was the result of higher average realized gold price. Cost of sales increased by $78.8 million, or 41.5%, as a result of higher gold ounces sold and contracted mining costs; community donations; consumption of raw materials and consumables; and net realizable value adjustments on leach pad inventory. Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold and cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased 20.9% and 21.3%, resp ectively, due to higher cost of sales as discussed above and lower grade sulfide ore milled. AISC per ounce of gold sold increased 7.9% due to higher cash costs per ounce of gold sold and higher sustaining capital expenditures, partially offset by care and maintenance costs incurred during the temporary suspension of operations in the three months ended September 30, 2022.
