(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 42.1% due to fewer tonnes and lower grade ore stacked in addition to timing of leach recoveries. Revenue decreased by $38.7 million, or 24.4%, of which $68.7 million was the result of fewer gold ounces sold, partially offset by a $30.0 million increase due to higher average realized gold price. Cost of sales decreased by $7.4 million, or 9.0%, due to fewer gold ounces sold, partially offset by lower grade ore stacked. Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold and cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased 60.5% and 60.6%, respectively, due to lower grade ore stacked and higher royalty costs. AISC per ounce of gold sold increased 65.3% as a result of higher cash costs per ounce of gold sold and higher sustaining capital expenditures.

Gold production decreased 44.5% due to lower grade ore stacked, partially offset by more ore tonnes stacked. Revenue decreased by $117.1 million, or 31.3%, of which $164.0 million was the result of fewer gold ounces sold, partially offset by a $46.9 million increase due to higher average realized gold price. Cost of sales decreased by $37.6 million, or 18.8%, 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 44.5% and 44.4%, respectively, due to more waste tonnes mined and lower grade ore stacked. AISC per ounce of gold sold increased 22.9% due to higher cash costs per ounce of gold sold, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures compared to the nine months ended September 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 9.1% due to more ore tonnes milled. Silver sold decreased 2.3% due to the timing of concentrate sales. Revenue increased by $22.1 million, or 29.2%, of which $0.5 million was the result of higher volume of concentrate sold and $22.6 million was the result of higher average realized silver and zinc prices, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease due to lower average realized lead price. Cost of sales increased by $1.3 million, or 3.0%, as a result of higher royalties and export duties. Cost of sales per ounce of silver sold increased by 5.4% due to more waste tonnes mined and higher royalties and export duties. Cash costs per ounce of silver sold decreased by 5.4% due to lower treatment and refining charges and an increase in by-product credits from higher lead and zinc sales. AISC per ounce of silver sold increased 17.9% due to higher sustaining capital expenditures and reclamation cost accretion and amortization.

Silver production increased 8.7% due to more ore tonnes milled. Silver sold decreased 2.2% 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 $27.4 million, or 13.4%, of which $35.8 million was a result of higher average realized silver and zinc prices, partially offset by $1.9 million as a result of lower average realized lead price and $6.5 million due to lower volume of concentrate sold. Cost of sales decreased by $11.0 million, or 8.9%, due to lower transportation expenses, fewer waste tonnes mined, and fewer silver ounces sold. Cost of sales per ounce of silver sold decreased by 6.8% due to lower transportation expenses and fewer waste tonnes mined. Cash costs per ounce of silver sold decreased by 13.7% due to the decrease in cost of sales per ounce of silver sold discussed above, an increase in by-product credits from higher lead and zinc sales, and lower treatment and refining charges. AISC per ounce of silver sold increased 0.3% due to higher reclamation cost accretion and amortization.
