Anthea Bath, President and CEO of Wesdome, commented:

“The first quarter of 2024 saw combined production which was in line with expectations, as we begin a year focused on delivering significant production and free cash flow growth. Further to our annual guidance update in January, the remaining three quarters are expected to see stronger output levels, supporting total planned production of 160,000 to 180,000 ounces this year.

At Eagle River, processing of higher grade material drove outperformance compared to plan. Development performance related to the 300 Zone continues to perform in line with budget.

At the Kiena Mine, development and stope preparation activities advanced during the quarter as the site readies to ramp up and process higher grade material in the second quarter. We note that grade processed during the first quarter reflects a greater proportion of ore from the lower grade Martin Zone.

On the back of gold price strength and an increase in cash generation by our operations, we also took the opportunity late in the quarter to reduce the outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility by $10 million. With cash flows expected to increase in the coming months, we remain on track to close out the remaining balance on the facility by the third quarter,” Ms. Bath added.

The Company will release its first quarter 2024 financial results after market close on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. At that time, the financial statements and management discussion and analysis will be available on the company’s website at www.wesdome.com and on SEDAR+ www.sedarplus.com. A conference call and webcast to discuss these results will be held on Thursday May 9, 2024 at 10:00 am ET.
