Wesdome Announces Second Quarter Production Results; Provides Conference Call Details

TORONTO, July 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) (“Wesdome” or the “Company”) today announces second quarter (“Q2”) results.

Anthea Bath, President and CEO commented, “Combined gold production for the second quarter of 30,992 ounces was in line with budget. With a similar production profile expected in H2, our year-to-date performance of 59,360 ounces has us tracking to the mid-point of our 110,000 – 130,000 ounce guidance range.

At Eagle River, Q2 production of 22,845 ounces was 13% higher than Q1 as a result of record productivity from the underground mine, offsetting a slightly lower grade cycle related to mine plan sequencing.

At Kiena, despite the impacts from the regional forest fires, production of 8,147 ounces was an improvement over Q1. As previously guided, we continued to supply the mill with lower grade ore from the Martin and S50 zones to supplement the Kiena Deep material that is available to mine, which is mostly lower grade fringe material and diluted ore from previously mined areas. Importantly, we continue to prioritize the development of the production ramp, which remains ahead of schedule, positioning us well to ramp-up production in 2024.”

Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this press release and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.

Accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company has included in this news release certain non-IFRS performance measures, including, but not limited to, mine operating profit, mining and processing costs and cash costs. Cash costs per ounce reflect actual mine operating costs incurred during the fiscal period divided by the number of ounces produced.
