(2)The Company reports the non-GAAP financial measures of cash costs and AISC per ounce of gold sold to manage and evaluate operating performance at Marigold. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for an explanation of these financial measures and a reconciliation to Cost of sales, which is the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Gold production decreased 57.5% due to lower grade ore stacked partially offset by more ore tonnes stacked. Revenue decreased by $56.9 million or 48.3%, of which $68.1 million was the result of fewer gold ounces sold partially offset by an $11.2 million increase as a result of higher average realized gold price. Cost of sales decreased by $24.7 million, or 38.7%, due to fewer gold ounces sold partially offset by higher mining costs as a result of more waste tonnes mined and lower grade ore stacked. Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold and cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased 45.6% and 45.1%, respectively, due to more waste tonnes mined and lower grade ore stacked. AISC per ounce of gold sold increased 24.7% as a result of higher cash costs per ounce of gold sold partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, which reflected the purchase of two haul trucks.

Gold production decreased 46.3% due to lower grade ore stacked partially offset by more ore tonnes stacked. Revenue decreased by $78.4 million or 36.3%, of which $95.3 million was the result of fewer gold ounces sold partially offset by a $16.9 million increase as a result of higher average realized gold price. Cost of sales decreased by $30.2 million, or 25.5%, due to fewer gold ounces sold partially offset by higher mining costs as a result of more waste tonnes mined and lower grade ore stacked. Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold and cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased 33.6% and 33.1%, respectively, due to more waste tonnes mined and lower grade ore stacked. AISC per ounce of gold sold remained consistent period over period despite the increase in cash costs per ounce of gold sold as a result of lower sustaining capital expenditures compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, which reflected the purchase of four 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.

(3)The Company reports the non-GAAP financial measures of cash costs and AISC per ounce of silver sold to manage and evaluate operating performance at Puna. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for an explanation of these financial measures and a reconciliation to Cost of sales, which is the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Silver production increased 20.4% due to more ore tonnes milled and higher mill feed grade. Silver sold increased 34.0% due to the timing of concentrate sales. Revenue increased by $33.3 million, or 60.2%, of which $18.1 million was the result of higher volume of concentrate sold and $15.2 million was the result of higher average realized silver and zinc prices. Cost of sales increased by $6.6 million, or 19.8%, as a result of more silver ounces sold partially offset by lower transportation expenses. Cost of sales per ounce of silver sold decreased by 10.7% due to lower transportation expenses and higher grade ore milled. Cash costs per ounce of silver sold decreased by 21.0% due to the decrease in cost of sales per ounce of silver sold discussed above and an increase in by-product credits from higher lead and zinc sales. AISC per ounce of silver sold decreased 12.8% due to lower cash costs per silver ounce partially offset by higher reclamation cost accretion and amortization.

Silver production increased 8.5% due to more ore tonnes milled and higher mill feed grade. Silver sold decreased 2.1% due to the timing of concentrate sales attributable to transportation delays at the end of 2022, which resulted in a buildup of finished goods inventory that was subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2023. Revenue increased by $5.3 million, or 4.1%, of which $13.1 million was a result of higher average realized silver and zinc prices partially offset by $0.9 million as a result of lower average realized lead price and $6.9 million due to lower volume of concentrate sold. Cost of sales decreased by $12.3 million, or 15.3%, due to lower transportation expenses, fewer waste tonnes mined, and fewer silver ounces sold. Cost of sales per ounce of silver sold decreased by 13.4% due to lower transportation expenses and fewer waste tonnes mined. Cash costs per ounce of silver sold decreased by 18.5% due to the decrease in cost of sales per ounce of silver sold discussed above and lower treatment and refining charges. AISC per ounce of silver sold decreased 8.8% due to lower cash costs per ounce of silver sold partially offset by higher reclamation cost accretion and amortization.
