Consolidated Operations Review
Revenue from gold and silver salesfrom 100% owned operations increased to $52.3 million in Q3/24, compared to $38.4 million in Q3/23 due to higher average realized gold prices and consolidated gold sales, as described above. Our average realized gold price in Q3/24 was $2,499 per GEO, compared to $1,920 per GEO in Q3/23.
Production costs applicable to sales increased to $29.7 million in Q3/24, compared to $26.5 million in Q3/23. Production costs increased primarily at Gold Bar compared to prior year, driven by higher mining rates and contractor unit costs.
Advanced project costswere $2.5 million in Q3/24, compared to $20.4 million in Q3/23. Advanced project costs primarily relate to the Fenix Project in both Q3/23 and Q3/24, and Los Azules in Q3/23. Following the deconsolidation of McEwen Copper in Q4/23, the Company’s attributable costs for Los Azules are recognized through theLoss from investment in McEwen Copper line item on ourStatement of Operations and are no longer recognized withinAdvanced Project Costs.
Exploration costs were $5.3 million in Q3/24, compared to $4.7 million in Q3/23. Exploration expenditures focused on the Grey Fox project at the Fox Complex, and on near-term production targets and mine life extension opportunities at Gold Bar.
Loss from investment in MSC: During Q3/24 we recorded a loss of $1.2 million, compared to a loss of $2.7 million in Q3/23. Details of MSC’s operating results are presented in the “Operations Review” section of this MDA and Note 9 to theConsolidated Financial Statements.
Loss from investment in McEwen Copper:During Q3/24 we recorded a loss of $1.9 million representing our attributable portion of the costs of McEwen Copper to advance the Los Azules project to feasibility. Prior to Q4/23, the financial results of McEwen Copper were consolidated. Details of McEwen Copper’s operating results are presented in the “Operations Review” section of this MDA and Note 9 to theConsolidated Financial Statements.
Interest and other finance expense, netwas $1.1 million in Q3/24, a $11.4 million decrease compared to income of $10.3 million in Q3/23. During Q3/23, interest and other finance income was impacted by the consolidation of McEwen Copper’s financial results, which included income earned from its investments of cash reserves not immediately required for exploration activities.
Other expense was $0.1 million in Q3/24, compared to an expense of $10.1 million in Q3/23. The increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign exchange losses following the deconsolidation of McEwen Copper, as a sizable portion of its treasury was held in Argentine pesos during Q3/23.
Income and mining tax expense was $0.8 million in Q3/24, compared to a recovery of $0.2 million in Q3/23. The decrease was primarily due to the Nevada net proceeds tax, partially offset by adjustments in temporary tax differences related to our McEwen Copper investment and the amortization of the flow-through share premium.
