Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold and cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased 25.2% and 25.0%, respectively, due to more lower grade ore stacked and a higher strip ratio. AISC per ounce of gold sold decreased 14.0% as a result of lower sustaining capital expenditures compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, which reflected the purchase of two haul trucks.

(1)Gold equivalent ounces are calculated multiplying the silver ounces by the ratio of the silver price to the gold price, using the average LBMA prices for the period. The Company does not include by-products in the gold equivalent ounce calculations.

Silver production decreased 5.0% due to lower grade ore milled. Silver sold decreased 30.4% due to the timing of sales attributable to transportation delays at the end of 2022, which resulted in a build up of finished goods inventory that was subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2023. During the three months ended Revenue decreased by $28.0 million, or 37.9%, of which $25.5 million was the result of lower volume of concentrate sold and $2.4 million was the result of lower average realized silver and lead price. Cost of sales decreased by $18.9 million, or 40.3%, as a result of lower fuel costs, freight charges, and export duties as well as fewer silver ounces sold. Cost of sales per ounce of silver sold and cash costs per ounce of silver sold decreased by 14.3% and 14.7%, respectively, due to the decrease in cost of sales discussed above. AISC per ounce of silver sold decreased 4.8% due to lower cash costs per silver ounce and a reduction in by-product credits from lower lead and zinc sales.
