Wesdome Announces 2023 First Quarter Financial Results

TORONTO, May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) (“Wesdome” or the “Company”) today announces first quarter (“Q1 2023”) financial results. All figures are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Warwick Morley-Jepson, Board Chair and Interim CEO commented, “The year is off to a solid start with combined production results of 28,368 ounces coming in ahead of budget. We continued to make excellent progress on the Kiena production ramp, currently at the 123 level. Once the ramp reaches the 129 level late this year and we can develop 129L station, we will be able to take advantage of the significant ounces per vertical metre increase which is expected to result in materially better unit economics in 2024. At Eagle River, production exceeded our internal targets. Grade reconciliation in the Falcon Zone has significantly improved now that additional drilling and ore development is in place. Our balance sheet is also continuing to benefit from higher production and gold prices, as well as disciplined use of our ATM financing. During the quarter, we paid down $8 million of debt, $12 million in Accounts Payables and expect to continue aggressively paying down our credit facility throughout the rest of the year.”

First quarter 2023 highlights:

  • At Eagle, production exceeded our internal targets. Grade reconciliation in the Falcon Zone has significantly improved now that additional drilling and ore development is in place. Q1 2023 cash costs of $1,192 (US$881) per ounce and AISC of $1,709 (US$1,264) per ounce of gold were below combined guidance and are expected to be maintained.
  • At Kiena, we continued to make excellent strides towards the successful ramp-up of mining activities in 2023 and beyond. Development of the ramp to the 129L giving access to the A Zone of Kiena Deep continued to track ahead of schedule which positions the mine well for increased production levels in 2024. Longer term, excavation of an exploration ramp from surface to access the near-surface Presqu’ile Zone is expected to proceed in H2 2023 after the required permits are secured. With an existing large resource base, efforts in 2023 will focus on converting a portion of these resources to reserves. The Kiena mill has excess capacity with a permitted rate of 2,000 tonnes per day, therefore bringing a potential new source of ore into the mine plan could be accomplished quickly and for low costs.
  • Kiena Cash costs of $2,267 per ounce, ($US1,676) and AISC costs of $3,048 per ounce ($US2,254) were higher than guidance due to increased staffing in preparation for the production ramp up and associated construction costs. Costs are expected to decrease throughout the second half of the year and further in 2024 as the mine reaches higher production levels taking advantage of the higher grades and larger ore volumes at depth.
  • Total Cash margin was $34.4 million, a 13% increase over Q1 2022, however net income and free cash flows were negative as the Company completes the final projects on the production ramp up at Kiena, namely the ramp to the 129 metre level. Assuming that all else remains the same, the Company expects, at current gold prices, to be free cash flow neutral this year, positioning itself well to be free cash flow positive in 2024.
  • The Company is well positioned to deliver on its production guidance of 110,000 – 130,000 ounces and cash cost guidance of $1,500 - $1,670 per ounce (US$1,150 - $1,290), as well as AISC of $2,100 - $2,340 per ounce, (US$1,620 - $1,800).
  • Wesdome raised $20.1 million of net proceeds from issuing 2,987,500 common shares under the ATM program. The Company ended the quarter with $25.1 million in cash, and a $47 million balance on the revolving credit facility (December 31, 2022 $55 million) in accordance with our strategy to accelerate the paydown of the outstanding balance on our credit facility, thereby de-risking our balance sheet.
Operations and Financial Results

Comparison to Q1 2022
Gold production of 28,368 ounces.

Gold production increased by 11% (Q1 2022 - 25,611 ounces) due to Kiena producing 7,877 ounces in Q1 2023 compared to 5,112 ounces in Q1 2022, and Eagle River complex producing 20,491 ounces, which is consistent with the same period in the prior year.
Cash costs of $1,407 (US$1,040) per ounce of gold sold1.Cash costs1 in Canadian dollars increased by 9% from Q1 2022 of $1,295 (US$1,023) per ounce due to a 16% increase in aggregate mine operating costs; partially offset by a 7% increase in ounces sold. The aggregate cash costs increased by $4.9 million or 21% at Eagle River mainly due to increased ore development metres (timing), waste movement, improvements made to strengthen the technical and mine management team at site, general maintenance of site infrastructure and inflationary pressure. Kiena’s aggregate cash costs increased by $1.1 million or 8% primarily due to a 100% increase in throughput and increased staffing levels required to support commercial production, which was declared on December 1, 2022.
AISC of $1,977 (US$1,462) per ounce of gold sold1.AISC1 in Canadian dollars increased by 17% from Q1 2022 of $1,695 (US$1,339) per ounce due to the increased cash costs, an increase in capital spending at Eagle River resulting from the replacement of aging site infrastructure and the inclusion of sustaining mining exploration and development costs at Kiena.
Cash margin of $34.4 million1.Cash margin1 increased by 13% or $4.1 million from Q1 2022 due to higher ounces sold and a higher Canadian dollar realized gold price; partially offset by increased cash operating costs.
Operating cash flow of $5.1 million or $0.04 per share1.Decreased by 83% or $24.8 million (Q1 2022 - $29.9 million or $0.21 per share1) primarily due to the decrease in cash from working capital changes; partially offset by the higher cash margin.

Free cash outflow of $19.6 million or ($0.14) per share1.The free cash outflow1 increased by $12.8 million (Q1 2022 - $6.8 million or ($0.05) per share1) primarily due to the decrease in cash from working capital changes; partially offset by the higher cash margin and reduced capital spending. Invested $22.7 million in capital expenditures at Eagle River and Kiena in the quarter as compared to $34.6 million in Q1 2022.
Net loss attributable to shareholders of $0.3 million or $nil per share.

Adjusted net income1 attributable to shareholders of $3.3 million or $0.02 per share.

Net income decreased by $7.4 million (Q1 2022 - $7.1 million or $0.05 per share) because of the increased depletion and depreciation of $10.8 million resulting from a larger depreciable asset base as the Kiena assets are now being depreciated, the after-tax impairment of the investment in associate of $2.0 million and the after-tax retirement costs of $1.6 million; partially offset by the higher cash margin.

After removing these one-time items, the adjusted net income1 decreased by $3.8 million from Q1 2022.

Production Metrics and Exploration Updates UpdaHighlightsPerformance
Eagle River Complex
  • Overall gold production from the Eagle River Complex remained consistent in Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2022 with 20,491 ounces produced. Despite lower throughput from the Eagle River underground, Q1 2023 gold production increased by 4% from Q1 2022 and exceeded internal targets due to processing additional higher-grade ounces from the Falcon Zone. Mishi produced 332 ounces in Q1 2023, and the stockpile has now been fully depleted.
    • Eagle River Underground 48,133 tonnes at a head grade of 13.5 grams per tonne for 20,159 ounces produced, 4% increase over the same period in the previous year (Q1 2022: 19,334 ounces).
    • Mishi Open Pit 6,150 tonnes at a head grade of 2.3 grams per tonne for 332 ounces produced (Q1 2022: 1,165 ounces).
  • Q1 2023 cash cost of $1,192 (US$881) per ounce of gold sold1 decreased by 6% or $70 per ounce from Q1 2022 due to a 28% increase in ounces sold; partially offset by a 21% increase in overall aggregate site operating costs resulting from higher operating costs incurred due to more ore development metres, waste movement, improvements made to strengthen the technical and mine management teams at site, general maintenance improvements and inflationary pressures, driven by higher labour costs and an increase in commodity inputs, including higher fuel and energy costs.
  • Q1 2023 AISC of $1,709 (US$1,264) per ounce of gold sold1 decreased by 3% or $62 per ounce from Q1 2022 due to a 28% increase in ounces sold; partially offset by the higher cash costs and site infrastructure spending.
  • Generated $20.1 million in cash margin net AISC1 in Q1 2023 compared to $11.8 million in Q1 2022 due to the 28% increase in ounces sold and the higher average Canadian dollar gold price; partially offset by the 21% increase in overall aggregate site operating costs and the 51% increase in site infrastructure spending.
  • At December 31, 2022, Eagle River’s proven and probable mineral reserves totaled 400,000 ounces (762,000 tonnes grading 16.3 g/t Au); measured and indicated mineral resources (exclusive of reserves) were 186,000 (466,000 tonnes grading 12.4 g/t gold); and inferred mineral resources were 281,000 ounces (586,000 tonnes grading 14.9 g/t gold).
  • As a result of drilling to the west of Eagle River, the Company believes there is potential for the delineation of a parallel Falcon structure and further to the East along the down dip extension of the high grade 300 Zone that could meaningfully enhance future operational flexibility of the asset. With an existing large resource base, efforts in 2023 will focus on converting a portion of these resources to reserves. Total metres budgeted for 2023 are 97,000 m by five underground drills, including 49,000 m of definition drilling, 40,000 m of underground exploration drilling and 8,000 m of surface exploration drilling.
Kiena
  • Q1 2023 production increased by 54% from Q1 2022 to 7,877 ounces due to a 100% increase in throughput; partially offset by a 23% decrease in head grade. The head grade is above the 2023 grade guidance of 3.7 – 4.7 due to an overall positive reconciliation of recovered diluted material from removal of material from previously mined stopes. Grades are still expected to align with guidance for the remainder of the year.
  • Q1 2023 cash cost of $2,267 (US$1,676) per ounce of gold sold1 increased by 66% or $904 primarily due to a 35% decrease in ounces sold, and an increase in overall aggregate cash costs resulting from throughput increasing by 100% and increased staffing levels required to support commercial production, which was declared on December 1, 2022. Kiena produced 42,324 tonnes at a head grade of 5.9 grams per tonne for 7,877 ounces, 54% increase over the same period of the previous year (Q1 2022: 5,112 ounces)
  • Q1 2023 AISC of $3,048 (US$2,254) per ounce of gold1 sold increased by 98% or $1,507 per ounce as compared to $1,541 (US$1,217) in Q1 2022 due to a 35% decrease in ounces sold, the increased cash costs and the sustaining mine exploration and development costs.
  • Q1 2023 cash margin net AISC1 of negative $2.8 million decreased by $10.1 million compared to $7.4 million in Q1 2022 due to a 35% decrease in ounces sold and the inclusion of sustaining development and exploration costs.
  • The pastefill plant, which was commissioned in Q4 of 2022, has performed well, achieving its design throughput and quality of product. Yielding the expected improvements in stope cycle times and reduction in dilution.
  • Development of the ramp to the 129L which provides access to the A Zone of Kiena Deep continued to track ahead of schedule during Q1 2023, which positions the mine well for increased production levels in 2024.
  • At Kiena, proven and probable mineral reserves totalled 606,000 ounces (1,658,000 tonnes grading 11.4 g/t Au); measured and indicated mineral resources (exclusive of reserves) were 164,000 (971,000 tonnes grading 5.3 g/t gold); and inferred mineral resources were 668,000 ounces (3,498,000 tonnes grading 5.9 g/t gold).
  • The Company is following up on multiple initial discoveries made last year, including the south limb of the A Zone and several adjacent hanging wall zones which remain outside the current mineral reserves.
  • Recent drill results have extended the Kiena Deep A Zone 125 m down plunge. The A Zone now extends continuously from 1,100 m to approximately 2,000 m below surface and remains open at depth.
  • Additionally, the latest drilling results have also continued to better define and expand the Footwall Zones. Lenses FWZ_1 to FWZ_4 were intersected by holes N112-6861, N112-6861W1, and N112-6862W2.
  • The excavation of an exploration ramp from surface to access the near-surface Presqu’ile Zone is expected to proceed in H2 2023 after the required permits are secured. With an existing large resource base, efforts in 2023 will focus on converting a portion of these resources to reserves.
  • Total metres budgeted for 2023 is 33,000 m, which is made up from 18,000 m of underground exploration drilling, 10,000 m of definition drilling and 5,000 m of surface exploration drilling on a barge.
